Community Tasting Note

96 Points

Sunday, December 7, 2008 - From Imperial size. I really loved this extraordinary wine. Totally open for business. At first tasting had a slight brett that i found pleasing, in the vain of Montrose 1990, but much milder. This note disappeared after one hour from the opening. The nose was delicate, floral (violetts) and plummy (bluberrys). The tasting was smooth juicy fruity mineral and round, with no hard edges (plum, violets, stones). Very well integrated and pleasing, sweet. The power of the mouth fill was consistent with the deep and purple colour of the wine, but surprisingly more powerful then the delicate nose. The finish was long and smooth. I think this wine has a long life ahead.
