Community Tasting Note

Monday, October 25, 2010 - I had 4 bottles. (I previously had tasted some bottles of the 2005.) While the first and third I see as 91s, and the second a 92, my comment in Spring 2009 that more time was needed turned out to be correct. This fourth bottle was a solid 96. The aromas had no element of sweetness, but rather a myriad of strongly present and lengthy citrus and stone fruit. Again no sweetness element on the patate, with completely pleasant and extended flavor of quince, nectarine, nutmeg, and green grape. Zero bitterness, but frank in its presence. All the flavors were part of a clean, deep, viscous liquid. 90% Roussane (a native grape of the Rhone) and 10% Viognier (a grape of the Northern Rhone) from California.
