Community Tasting Note

Tony Ling Likes this wine:

Sunday, November 28, 2021 - 12% ABV. 540 bottles and 26 magnums made. PNP into Spiegelau Burgundy glass (“Fruit” day): Pale garnet to the eyes.

Bramble berries, red and black cherry fruits here. Dried florals. A little savory white spice, chocolate and hints of for the pencil shavings for the first glass.

Detectably more textured tannins for this bottle which again reinforced the image of bottle variations due to bottling by barrel practice here.

95-96 points of this showing. Will one ever grow tired of this wine?

Second pour, 15 mins in, 3/4 left: more vibrancy and also slight petillance on palate here. Richer fruit profile to support the ample stuffing here.

Third pour, 30 mins in, 3/5 left: even some eggwhite like reduction here. Still more about red, cherry fruits here in my view compared to the other two bottles tasted just a day or two before. Very good intellectual study of his bottles indeed. Interesting to note that the after taste / finish for this wine really reminds me of fresh eaten cherries!

Fourth pour, 40 mins in, 1/2 left: largely consistent with previous pour.

Fifth pour, 1 hour in, 1/5 left: getting better in terms of integration! More of the signature organic luxurious blackberry fruits that is so authentic, and clearly defined signature of this producer now. Think this is more 96 points now! A bottle of opulence for me now.

Last pours: shared with the rest of the great team behind this! Well deserved.
