Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Friday, July 11, 2014 - Domaine Faiveley continues to deliver ...: Mike and I loved this wine at a similar Faiveley tasting two years ago. Here, to me, it had retreated a little into its shell, compared to that glossier, sleeker version. However, even with 18 hours air, the sheer class of this wine, and its NSG signature, was obvious. A bouquet of spicy dark cherries and other dark berries, with savoury aromas, earth, gun smoke and underbrush. A serious, classically proportioned wine on the palate, dark and brooding. Dense, rich and powerful with dark berry and earthy flavours, seeming to be beginning to shut down. Excellent acid and tannin structure, elegant and long. With 5-10 years cellar time this wine should become a really special NSG.
