Community Tasting Note

VincentMorey Likes this wine:

Saturday, December 2, 2023 - An excellent wine. Fascinating to have enjoyed 2015 last month, and now the 2014 bottling. Decanted the 2014 for one hour (not sure if it was enough) and took it to dinner. Missing the perfumed aromatic roses of the 2015, but had some flowers (violets?), strawberries, raspberries, then a sensation of ash, earth, herbs / vegetal. High and elegant mouth watering acidity, some minerality, and the tartness of cherries. There was also the caramelized smokey grilled meat aroma in there somewhere. Upon swallowing there is a finish and after taste that lingers on the palate for a duration of up to 17 seconds. In an early drinking window, but quite phenomenal with food (especially stronger heavier proteins). Definitely dryer than the 2015, less elegance. I'd say lay them down if you have more and try again in a few years and more. Or just open one and have some strong proteins and great rich sauced dishes with it.
