Community Tasting Note

liber Likes this wine:

Thursday, July 27, 2023 - 1st of 12, pnp, perfect cork and level - transparent ruby, not as dark as expected, hint of brown on rim; red fruit, mineral, earth, reasonably complex, fresh for RM; medium, ok length and persistence and more concentrated than expected from appearance, nice sweetish core, slightly simple as yet but attractive, approaching maturity but with upside, 10+ years. Just about F (17.5) if this develops as expected and a relief as I've found RM's 99s a bit heavy handed and over extracted, though it came recommended by the late Hilary Gibbs who usually got things right! (More layered and expressive on 2nd night.)
