Community Tasting Note

Friday, August 31, 2012 - For me the best and definitely youngest wine of the evening! Well, what can I say: I like young stuff ;-)! Oh hell, ignore that, please! Back to the wine:
Super vital seeming colour, a lot of transparency although relatively dark. The nose was very Jayer-Gilles Hautes-Cotes like! Loads of intriguing dark cherry perfume, sophisticate gentle character and a bit wet forest floor on a cold autumn afternoon. Not over complex, but indeed very appealing. On the palate it seemed juvenile and a bit rough. At first I got a ridged tannin structure, a not too fierce acid, a lot of tartness, austere cherry flavours and something indefinable nasty, BUT (right from the beginning) it showed wonderful potential and genuineness. Whatever that might mean!?! After approx. five hours it showed some more accessible flavours of dark and muddy cherries, mushrooms, earth and traces of dark chocolate. Really great potential for “little” money! Dead certain - it will be a good representative of squirearchy of the Hautes-Cotes! Just give it one or two more years!
