SARED Likes this wine: 96 points
January 2, 2024 - Strikes me as old meets new. Very vibrant/concentrated/polished/sleek... but with excellent balance, precision, freshness, and savory complexity. Enjoyed a 94 now in youth, but I suspect this has 96 potential over time. 95-96?
375ml decanted for 3 hours at cellar temp. Mouthwatering cassis, pencil shavings, tobacco, cherry, lilac, red currant, vanilla. Focused acids and ultra fine tannin. Feels 13.5-14% (label is 14%). No sign of alcohol. Very sleek and polished. Precise. Loads of red currant, pencil shavings and drying cassis. Med+ body. Long finish. More savory & complex, than sweet, supported by perfect balance of mouthwatering acid and polished tannin. Would like to try this again with camembert or brie. No idea what a sleek wine like this ages into with 30 years time, but the balance is impeccable and I certainly look forward to following this wine over time.5 people found this helpful 4,443 views
