January 19, 2020 - The 2012 Quivet doesn’t look or drink like a 7+ year old wine. It pours deep purple and gives a bouquet of primary dark fruit and baking bread (which reminds me of visits to a barrel room). The plush mouthfeel and up-front fruit mask any tannins that might be lurking. Very tasty, if a bit straightforward at this point.
I saved half for day 2 and will follow-up if there’s been any evolution.
====
Day 2 shows more spice and pepper notes and more complexity emerging. There’s no drop off in the fruit, and the finish is long and reveals some of the tannins that were hiding on day one. To my palate, this is still a young wine and should have many good years of drinking ahead of it. Well done.2 people found this helpful Comment -
