Community Tasting Note

Monday, April 11, 2011 - Some of the TNs for this wine are really weird. Apricot? Peach? Ahem... sorry, ladies and gentlemen. Gooseberry is - I think - the fruit you were searching for. But what a mother of a honeyed turbo-charged gooseberry! The best Cloudy Bay SB I have yet tried, way better than the '08 or the '09, it even has the makings of a textured, layered midpalate and finish (uncanny pure sweet-sour balance) after its amazingly pure, laser-beam entry. I can't quite give 92P, even though this - is in its short-lived way - a nearly perfect wine, because I had a little nip of a true 92-pointer, a freshly opened bottle of Tio Pepe, before dinner. But definitely 91P, and a big congratulation Down Under.
