Community Tasting Note

    November 18, 2023 - Not decanted and takes less than an hour to be fully open. Very dark in fruit and mineral profile on the nose, almost tarry. Clean though, and fresh. Something floral emerges too, like candied purple flowers. Good acidity on the palate and the wine is well balanced. Enjoyable wine that seems to be fully approachable now, and doesn’t really seem as though there is anything in reserve - this is the wine. It’s not very articulate or detailed, and it’s more power and concentration than nuance and grace. That’s the vintage, I suppose. This is not a wine I’m going to age for very long.

    And now after writing this I read my previous note - quite a different impression this time. Perhaps I should have decanted this.
