Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, January 10, 2023 - Tasted 10 years ago this wine seemed excessively ripe. Even I have a hard time believing what time has accomplished here: this bottle, anyway, isn't overdone at all. Hardly -- the label says 12.5% alc. and that's about how it presents. Cool aromas of olive tapenade; fresh, fleshy, purple fruit on the palate without a hint of over-ripeness, and a bit of remaining tannins. Is it the greatest example of M. Verset's craft? No, it's not, but his personal stamp is in evidence. This is literally the first French wine from this vintage to stir my interest and provide real pleasure. I haven't a clue how he managed it. I truly enjoyed this.
