February 19, 2019 - Coravin tasting. Followed 1998 port. Well stored in a Eurocave since purchased at the estate in 2016.
Nose is violet and reminiscent of right bank Bordeaux. Quite fresh, no maturity on the nose despite being 13 years old.
On the palate it is rich, quite Syrah like now, still very fresh, somewhat drying and old world. The finish is quite short though and gives some hints of mature mushroom like notes.
I like the nose and everything up the finish, just a shame it's so short. Not bad though and very fair price.
With a bit more air this is more complex and Rhone-like on the nose. More mature on palate now too. Finish is a bit longer and very, very dry. It might have need a little time to open up plus a warmer temperature (probably was 15C when first sipped).226 views
