Community Tasting Note

• Dr S Likes this wine: 94 points

  December 4, 2022 - An update, with a needed amendment, based on night two’s tasting. Even more Hermitage like, especially the nose. Loaded up with warm spices, all manner of peppercorns, and perfumed fruit (perhaps those elusive florals too).
  
  The main reason to provide a post script relates to the oak. It was entirely simpatico on the second night. I still think it could have been dialed back a few months to let the fine fruit sing more, but it’s now deeply stitched into body of the wine and invests added structure, as well as savoury elements to the overall fabric.
  
  I meant to give 94 points yesterday and definitely wish it be so now. Already drinking well but another five years should see it go full Hermitage. Bring it on.
