Community Tasting Note

Saturday, February 4, 2012 - Decanted and drank over 8 hours, accompanied with veal entrecote after 6 hours. Did not need food in my opinion. I did not expect this wine to be so nice this young. Nice to drink just after opening it and it increased in complexity over the hours I drank it. The relatively low levels of acidity and tannins make it nice to drink today. I hope that there is enough backbone in it to last until the fruit has mellowed down and the wine has evolved into the elegant and complex wine it has the potential to be. On the nose; Lots of dark fruit, pepper, subtle notes of stable, initially a hint of oak. On the palate; Silky sweet tannins, jammy dark fruit, cherry, sweet licorice. An extremely rich and succulent piece of work. More backbone would have awared the wine some more points, this time 94p with potential for more points next time...
