Community Tasting Note

Hendmo Likes this wine:

Sunday, June 27, 2021 - From a 0.375 bottle. Still young, but ready to drink after 3hr decant. The nose was of lovely dark fruits, but needed all the time in the decanter to unfurl and felt like it was perhaps holding something back a bit. It was on the palate that the quality of this wine really shone through though, and the concentration of the beautiful cassis and blackberry were immediately evident. Full-bodied and intense, but somehow with impeccable freshness and balance. While there were some secondary notes - a hint of graphite and cedar - the overall impression was of the exceptional purity and quality of the fruit. The impressive structure also stood out a mile, with the beautifully polished tannins rendering the wine very drinkable, but giving it a sense of coiled energy, and guiding the flavours across the palate, with the flavours lingering on a good 40-50 seconds. This will probably get better still, and I marked it down a point because the nose wasn't completely open for business yet, but it's already superb.
