October 8, 2021 - Another wine nearly at its prime.
Areation for 5 hours prior to consumption, the first glass was filled with endless floral and red fruit nose, where iris, violet, roses, raspberries composed orchestra playing.
Truffles and boletes ,together with Indian spices arose in the flower bouquets in the second glass, I could simply not describe properly the elegance of this wine at the moment;
The third glass was dominated by red fruits, some lovely cigar/tobacco nose decorated the sweet/spicy basis, which reminded me some northern Rhone "Divas" such as La Mouline or Chave, the touch was supple, full-bodied, with some polished but firm tannins, marvelous!
I bought it 11 years ago from a connoisseur based in Paris ——spending 1500 Euros——which was an incredibly high price at that time. But thinking about the rarity, I have nothing to regret.790 views
