Long lunch with Martinborough winemakers (Martinborough, NZ): Served blind by me, paired with the Dugat-Py. No sediment on decanting. Like most tasters, on the day, I preferred the Perrot-Minot over the Dugat-Py. Damp black soil, underbrush, black cherries and other dark fruit and a touch of high cacao chocolate. In the mouth, dense and powerful. A lovely rich wine with real matière. “A lot of supple fruit”, said Kai. Nice minerality too. Relatively approachable. Black fruited and earthy with a little funky sous bois. John however again identified brett here that, again, I could not see as a fault. Lovely satiny mouthfeel. For me, not far behind the Rousseau in quality. Still, ideally, cellar for 5+ more years.

Lovely nose of wild berries, nice acidity but a little short on the finish.

Perrot-Minot 2002 (INAO Vin-Passion, Bruxelles, Belgium): Nez plus fermé, plus simple ?
Bouche très bien faite, aucun défaut, mais difficile à évaluer: personnalité à rechercher, dentelle étrange
