Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Wednesday, February 26, 2014 - Tasted blind against mainly red Burgundies, a beautiful expressive nose of red cherries, spice, musk, earth, mushroom, turning funky and a bit feral (in a good, interesting way). The palate showed a similar flavour profile of savoury elements but of ripe red berry fruit with, seemingly, years in front of it. The flavour profile, particularly the earthy element, had us thinking this was a Gevrey. Good fruit weight, structure and length. The tannins were still, for a 1999, surprisingly prominent and the acids perhaps a little awkward, lending a tart element to the flavour profile. A classy wine, I would keep for a few more years to watch it go more secondary, 93.
