Community Tasting Note

Friday, March 9, 2012 - DoktaP, JoeG and Basecadet Visit KW (Dave's House): Decanted quickly for sediment and then served immediately. There was a bit of past seepage noted when removing the capsule, which had me concerned, although the cork still had a decent seal and came out in one piece. This was not at all like I expected. Really fresh on the nose, with really bright red fruits, savoury green herbs, fresh cut grass, crushed rocks, florals, briny olive, mint and fresh sea air. On the palate, very light weight, and elegant, showing red fruits, pepper, fresh picked herbs, minerality, olive and mint. Strong, refreshing acidity and fully integrated tannin. This paired really well with Patrick's wonderful lamb shank. Oddly enough, this reminded me more of a beautiful pinot than what I expected to be a powerful hermitage.
