Community Tasting Note

  May 21, 2013 - As the discussion pursued with David Sabon, he told me he regretted that the press didn’t make an effort in understanding the force of each vintages, and I think he also implied that he would enjoy reviewers to come back to the wines to see how they were evolving and which should be popped at which time. When he asked me which older vintages I would like to review, I told him “the underrated ones” that are 2008 and 2006, plus his renown 2001.
  This 2008 is a medium bodies red, displaying an evolved colour for the age. The mouthfeel is very strong, while having less matter than the 2011 and has a good share of secondary notes behind some still present dark berries. This stuff has a good balance which pursues and ends on a pretty concise final. A good effort that I would drink now, without failling to decant it as the more air, the more gourmandise I got out of it. (87-88) points
