Community Tasting Note

Thursday, November 28, 2013 - Winemaker's dinner with Philippe Guigal (Operakällaren, Stockholm): Medium to dark red colour. Nose with ripe blackberries, blackcurrants, some tar, some signs of maturity with leather and some barnyard notes. Full bodied, palate with dark cherries and blackcurrants, quite concentrated, spice, medium+ tannins with a fine structure. Still rather young, but rather approachable now, 97(+) p.
This wine gave me some Bordeaux feeling, but this can be because it was contrasted by a couple of Côte-Rôties. This was the big surprise of the tasting for me, because I had expected this wine to be less accessible, and that it hadn’t emerged from being closed down, which is the way many high-end red 2005s behave. 1,5 months ago, I actually felt that the 2005 Château d’Ampuis was more closed than the 2005 Ex Voto was now.
