Community Tasting Notes 1

  October 30, 2012 - Purchased 2 bottles in Lyon recently and drank the first tonight with porcini and chanterelles. On opening, the smell shot out of the top of the bottle with a gorgeous perfume. Letting the first pour sit for a while blew away any cobwebs and brought forth beautifully pure red fruits with smoke, mushrooms and iron. The nose evolved throughout the evening understandably, more black fruited with marked animal notes and some vegetal aromas towards the end. I also picked up on a baked apple smell which i found very appealing. On the palate it was beautifully balanced with a mixture of red and black fruits baked with just a hint of apple, pine sap,vibrant acidity, and a long tingling finish with just a touch of grainy tannins later in the evening. There is no doubt this bottle was very well looked after and as a bottle of wine, I am hard pressed to remember a bottle i have enjoyed more, although it was not a showy wine, and was perfect with the food. A sign of perfection to me!
