Community Tasting Notes (3)

  • Not quite as good as the bottle we had a couple of months ago, but remarkable for an unheralded year. Simple peach fruits, some toast and mineral. Full with structural elements that have neatly folded into the wine.

  • The colour was quite fresh, although the wine poured out with a light cloudiness. It had remarkably fresh peach fruit on the nose and in the mouth. There was some flint and a touch of spice. The acidity was prominent and hung off the fruit a little. Relatively simple, but a very good showing for a wine from a difficult year and was quite delicious with the food.

  • A less mature and paler hue than the 1995. Perfectly sound with less mature bouquet and extract than ‘95. Similarly on palate where strong acidity showed. Geoff advised that this had been heavily sulphured as it showed on opening and its transfer to a smaller screwcapped bottle had a very positive effect. Suffering a “thinness” as could be expected for a ’77 but an enjoyable drink. 17.5 Even better two days later at Cucinetta. With a lightness/elegance and gentle, rounded mouthfeel. 17.75
