Monday, December 25, 2023 - From a split-bottle bought ex-domaine.
Somehow I expected the wine to be in a closed phase being no longer young and also not sufficiently aged, however, fortunately I was wrong. The wine is still very young and upon PNP just hit me with its intensity: gobs of sweet black raspberries and truffles, oh my! In the mouth the wine is fresh, structured and seriously intense. I would say these days you don't often find that degree of extraction, but it works here, nothing unbalanced, just wow as soon as it enters your mouth.
This seems like a much a better wine than a Bertagna Clos de la Perriere 2015, which I had in November 2021 (see TN). As complexity is already there, it's no crime to open a bottle now, but this should also age in style.
