Community Tasting Note

Bagwhat Likes this wine:

Wednesday, December 13, 2023 - By the glass at Addison. Initially a muted nose, but with some time red fruit and light florals emerged. Surprisingly little tertiary, no leaves earth or game, and so felt a little simple.

The palate was much nicer, soft and fruit forward but with good density and a quite long persistence. The fruit did ultimately take a on an almost medicinal, syrupy tone at one stage, but eventually settled back in and even began to give some earth. The tannins felt present but unobtrusive and silky.

Ultimately I think this is an excellent wine in a weird phase and will emerge much more complex than it is now. It’s giving hints of that, and I know now to hold >15, maybe closer to 20 years before opening my bottles of later vintages.
