Community Tasting Note

• wineforth Likes this wine: 93 points

  July 13, 2019 - First bottle from a case bought en primeur. Decanted. Violets as I opened the bottle then blackcurrant with a hint of herbs. Later raspberry. Lots of mineral. Good body. Needs a couple more years for the tannins to fall out. Score could improve a lot.
