Saturday, December 30, 2023 - Wonderful wine

Nose and palette needed time to breathe. This clearly had plenty of years to age, but beautiful today

Immediately the whole clusters are clear, there is an evident spiciness throughout the experience. Nothing hot but lot of vosnee spice basket present, I’d venture more of a white vs black pepper style. The spiciness is well balanced with dark, rich fruit, more on the currant or blackberry variety but the fruit is clearly second to the spice and overall velvet nature of the tannins.

The finish lingers nicely for a long while with the whole experience being present.

Lovely wine. This had the balance and structure to age gracefully for many years and is not near its best.

As a comparative, the use of whole clusters here are providing some of the spice but not the vegetal and green notes that are present in some other wines (young Roumier Les Cras comes to mind), which can elicit more green and stem. This is more integrated and complete at this stage
