Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Sunday, May 25, 2014 - Friday night wines at Thierry's place (Wellington, New Zealand): Ruby colour, a little lighter than the Martinborough Vineyards, quite primary looking. A gorgeous bouquet of dark florals, red fruits, some funk and Asian spice. In the mouth, quite primary (we're guessing 2007 or 2009 red Burgundy). This wine is just beautifully balanced and poised, with real Grand Cru depth and power. The flavours are of lovely bright red fruits and earth, with gorgeous acid balance and minerality on the finish. Drinking well now, but no hurry. Quite a rare wine I think (thanks, Mike).
