Community Tasting Note

• DonDon wrote: 97 points

  April 18, 2019 - Well I lasted a whole 2 months before having this again despite having written to try and wait longer. Last time I had this properly decanted at home with a perfect food pairing. This time I was on holiday (yes I take my own wine and the coravin!) and had this over two nights with no food at all - the first on the hotel balcony while watching Netflix on my own after already having enjoyed champagne with dinner and the second watching an outdoor show with the wife and kids the next night. Anyway I suppose I should leave some form of tasting note since this is CellarTracker and not trip advisor! I’ve already described this wine in my last note so this time I want to concentrate on the actual feeling of having this wine and the best I can say is that on both nights this is one of those wines where every single sip is unbelievably hedonisticly delicious. It made both evenings immensely more pleasurable to end them in this way. It was slightly cold out which helped to be able to have this wine at a cooler temperature which really benefited it when drinking it without food. It is inky dark and blue fruits with some caramel and cassis with massive length that just makes you smile. I am scoring this a 97 compared with my first bottle which was a 96 and I think The whole experience was a brilliant wine memory for me.
