Community Tasting Note

Monday, October 12, 2009 - This just arrived at KLWM and what a delight it is. The mesmerizingly complex nose brings a cascade of shape-shifting aromas that seem to cycle from tart red berries, to blood orange, mineral, rust/iron, pine needle, floral violet/lilac, rhubarb and back again. The palate is juicy with bright acidity and gorgeously fresh, mouthwatering blood orange-like fruit and mineral flavors. On first glance, this is lighter and less textural than '05 or '06, almost water-weight in the mouth, with flavors that linger for just a bit. But it adds a bit of flesh and gentle structure with a couple of hours of air, so I suspect a few short months will bring about the more typical Lapierre textural snap. Who cares though, really. The freshness today is to die for and the ripeness just seems perfect. This is one of those wines I feel I can't possibly drink enough of. (Lot N 22/05/09)
