Community Tasting Note

Shrewsram Likes this wine:

Wednesday, March 6, 2024 - PNP with dinner

Good volume to the nose, immediate core of juicy black cherry fruit, a cool edge, perfumed forest fruits, pretty crushed blue notes, pinot sap/leaf, coal... wood.

Medium-bodied, fleshy and quite open with a salty/mineral underpinning and frame. Stony earth, more cool feels.

coming back: the nose is absolutely brilliant - blue/black and graphite, black raspberry. Silky and supple on the palate, juicy. ooh!

On return:
Very open nose, graphite tinged and redder. Generous, silky and bright, some pepper and earth, crushed raspberry and loganberry... so good!
Medium bodied, a firmness but a fine frame, savoury base and broadly mineral and cool. Savoury, clean and pure.

Later on:
Woodier and spicier but fresh pour brings back the graphite and red fruits. Medium, smooth and supple, juicy and full of ripe red fruits - with some firmness here and there. Really lovely stuff.

2017s are excellent. This offers great purity and was immediately expressive, developing with each sip. Brilliant bottle.
