Community Tasting Note

Julian Marshall Likes this wine:

Thursday, June 30, 2022 - Not bad at all - an interesting nose, a combination of quite ripe, deep, fruity aromas - blackcurrants and raspberries mainly, but also some Asian spice, a bit of game, some leather and even a hint of hazlenut. The attack is much less rich than expected, quite a classic blend of blackcurrant and plum, with again some savoury flavours, this time a little meatiness and quite a subtle but persistent wave of spices. The middle section broadens out into something fruitier, with velvety plum dominating some dark cherry, before the blackcurrant comes back on the quite tannic finish.
What makes it interesting is certainly the 50% Petit Verdot, but there's a pleasing crispness to the fruit which keeps it on track.
Not a "classic" claret, but not an über-ripe in-yer-face Rolland clone either, this is very promising and should improve further.
