Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, June 29, 2022 - Lunch at Min Jiang, London (Royal Park Hotel, Kesington, London): We had three bottles of the same wine, and this surprised on the upside - a really pleasant drink that went very well with a Peking duck dish. All three bottles were very consistent, starting out with a lovely, lifted nose of cherries and red berries lined with a little touch of spice and some of the stony minerality you would expect from an NSG. The palate was very 2014 - bright, juicy, a touch of the lighter side, with with lovely clear notes of red cherries and berries, all lined again with a nice streak of spice and mineral. Really pleasant, and drinking really easily and cleanly for a Faiveley. Just what you would want from a negociant wine at this level. There is enough structure for it to age nicely in the medium term, but I am not sure that this has a weight and depth for the very long haul. Given how pleasant it is in its youth though, I am not sure why anyone would keep this away for that long.
