Community Tasting Note

Thursday, July 23, 2015 - Fuller and darker in colour but showing less finesse and harmony than '98, '00 and '01, it was in fact more like the '03 with rather less sombre fruit. Rose petal notes dominated the aromas on both nose and palate, the fruit was of the darker kind with slight blackberry notes, there were less secondary notes and complexity than on the '01 earlier this year, acidity was smooth, tannins well covered but there was some alcoholic burn on the finish (14.5%) which receded after food. No hurry to drink up but I am not sure than it will achieve the harmony of those earlier vintages. Good+.
