Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Saturday, December 3, 2016 - A long Sunday lunch at Noble Rot (Wellington, NZ): A more translucent colour than the Musigny. A more approachable, attractive bouquet but sturdier, earthier with smoke and a Bonnes Mares feral, 'blood and fur' element. In the mouth, plenty of volume and structure. More red fruited than the Musigny and detailed, with that Bonnes Mares funky, earthy complexity and smokey barbequed game meats. Good acidity and well balanced. A top Bonnes Mares that I would expect to improve with another 5+ years in the cellar but be at its peak far before the Musigny.
