Community Tasting Note

Sunday, August 27, 2023 - What a fantastic wine!

In the realm of exceptional wines, this one stands prominent. Its deep, opulent robe of red belies a mere hint of its age. The bouquet transported me instantly to the vast vineyards of Australia, while my companions felt the breezy elegance of Napa and the historic charm of St. Emilion. Remarkably, our palates concurred upon tasting.

The aroma is a symphony of intense primary fruits, underscored by subtle herbal undertones. On the palate, its texture invites you to almost chew it, testament to its rich structure. Yet, it's the pronounced acidity that gifts this wine its impeccable balance. The vibrant fruit profile, which led us to surmise vintages between 2012 and 2016, remains undeniably primary and potent. Behind this, walls of tannins exist, but they are so masterfully interwoven that they remain almost concealed.

Despite its 18 years, this wine retains a youthful audacity, showing little concession to the passage of time. I eagerly anticipate revisiting it in another decade.

This marks the first bottle of a cherished quintet.
