Community Tasting Notes (1) Avg Score: 89 points

  • A big nose - we could smell it from the decanter off the table. Gorgeous, evolved nose with smoky, pruney, tobacco notes, with a slight hint of volatile acidity at the end. The nose develops some vanilla notes with time. Lovely palate, again feeling fairly evolved. It has quite a Burgundy feel to it in terms of earthiness. Refined and elegant, with some dried black fruits and some fresh raspberry/strawberry flavours. Very Good Indeed (just).
