Community Tasting Note

Monday, September 28, 2015 - This '01 was more evolved than my memory and notes of my last '96 two years ago. Colour was quite deep red with some tawny at the rim. The nose was perhaps its best feature with very attractive claret aromas of red fruit with slight green herbaceous edge and balsamic hints. The palate was smaller than my recollection of other Verdignans but quite round and initially showed oxidative touches which were obscured as the attractive fruit and aromas opened up. Tannins were almost completely resolved but there was still some firmness supporting the finish. Good wine but not for the long haul, I think, and remarkable QPR at €8,50.
