Thursday, October 19, 2023 - Brought to friends. Splash decanted to ensure it was not flawed and sediment, rebottled, slow O'd for 2 hours and we got around to this. Note from memory. Tasted alongside a '95 Tondonia Gran Reserva -- FUN comparison.
Note in a word: ETHEREAL. Just so light on its feet yet beautiful, complex and balanced. Floral, red fruit, sous bois, loam and oh my did this pair well with duck. Still thinking about this a day later.
You hear people compare the Bosconia to Burgundy and tasting this alongside the '95 Tondonia Gran Reserva (more traditionally compared to Bordeaux) one absolutely understands the comparisons.
What a treat. Thanks to our hosts and Dave for bringing its "Bordeaux" companion.
