Community Tasting Note

Sunday, July 7, 2013 - Another lazy Sunday dinner with La Las, Chaves, Chapelles, Rayas, Plume and Celestins (The Grill Room at Capella Hotel Georgetown): Subtle nose displaying lanoline, ripe yellow fruits but not tropical, grapefruit, petrol and pepper. Silky, oily palate, noticeable mineral presence and incredible concentration. There is a hint of oxidative note but it goes away and gets noticeably fresher with an hour of air. It is a serious wine with beautiful balance that needs at least ten years of further cellaring. I would highly recommend five hours of decanting in cold cellar. I was the only one who preferred this to the 96 Beaucastel Roussanne VV.
