Community Tasting Note

SARED Likes this wine:

Saturday, February 23, 2019 - A reluctant 93 as its so young and I’ve had a few glasses now. On pop and pour I thought this was so awesome... pure cherry and raspberry with these dark gripping tannin that suggested this was opened a decade early. After a double decant and two hours of air this was so feminine and approachable. Cherry, red raspberry but slightly dried with some slightly gritty and bitter tannin on the finish... the palate get a little thin. Over all I think this wine shouldn’t be opened for another 5 years, and this will be a wine with pure elements fruit coupled with some mild tannic power. I’m concerned for whether the palate is a little bit thin. So a weak 93. A little bit more concentrated and more red fruited than the 2005 lambrays loupes had a few minutes ago... just enough concentration to push this to a 93.. but needs a lot of time to secure that score comfortably. Rest of bottles to deep storage.
