Community Tasting Note

• Goldstone Likes this wine: 91 points

  May 9, 2019 - Dinner For Returning Friends (Our House, Hong Kong): Decanted for 2+ hours then drank slowly over the next four. The 10th time I have drank this wine. Dark, semi-opaque purple/ruby colour...still looks very young. Nose of Thai chicken green curry - galangal, fresh ginger, chicken broth, small Thai green aubergines - plus some lovely dark fresh cherry fruit. Palate is light, bright, fresh but starting to show a touch of cherry liqueur. Very high-toned piano notes ....but followed by massive heady cherry-toned 'lightness but weight'. This is a wine that polarises opinions but ....not having drank it for a couple of years... I'm now more convinced than ever that it needs another 10+ years to show its true colours. The last glass, 7 hours from opening, was by far the best. 91+ with lots of headroom.
