Community Tasting Note

• Keith Levenberg Likes this wine: 89 points

  April 7, 2024 - Lots of sediment thrown but still sporting a relatively dense and vibrant ruby color. The aromas start out earthy and nicely developed and even tease you into thinking this might actually be mature, but it becomes more rather than less restrained over the course of the bottle. The fruit is mellow but still has that lovely 2005 sweetness. The mouthfeel is relatively supple and easygoing but as those aromas become stonier and more reserved the tannic hiss also picks up a little bit. So this still needs a few years to get fully into the zone but it's in a spot that's enjoyable and not just promising.

  4/20/24, 4:23 PM - I drank a bottle of this when it was just released, loved it and wrote it up on Elitistreview that night. The following morning I rang the wine merchant at 09:30 to buy some more. The wine merchant told me that a well known London restauranteur had rang them up at 9am and bought the lot because he'd read a good review of it on some wine website. Bugger.
