Community Tasting Note

  June 17, 2019 - Light in colour for a Rugiens, medium-coloured strawberry juice. Elegant, pure nose, typically fresh pinot with hints of raspberry, cranberry and redcurrant. Medium weight on the palate and once again shouts elegance, purity and freshness. Good finish, but just a touch spirity. I really like this even though it doesn't have the depth and substance of a top year, but it's structure is wonderfully transparent. It reminds me of those Hubert wines of old, which also tended to come in at just 12% like this one; austere, but oh so refreshing. I'm really looking forward to having this again, which yet again shows that scores aren't the be all and end all in our enjoyment of wine. Given its lightness and 'delicacy' I suspect these bottles will need consuming by 2022+
