Community Tasting Note

  • mks83 Likes this wine: 91 points

    March 11, 2024 - Day 1: Tastes like a Cab Franc meets superb crus Baujolais. Deep but clear garnet color. The nose consists of red currant, cooked blueberries, violet, and paprika powder (spicy but not green). In the mouth, low-ish tannins, high-ish acidity, the texture is so silky and delicate, overall light bodied but there is waxy richness that grows in the mid-palate and lingers long, combined with high pitched massively floral finish (with a touch of animal funk like Baudry). Probably will get heavier/richer on day 2 (or with age) but it already tastes complete in its early form. It did gain suppleness on day 2-4. 91-92.
