Community Tasting Note

Monday, July 21, 2014 - This was very fruit forward with juicy fruit, a nose of kirsch, some citrus, and finishing with a mouthful of cottony tannins. Almost new world in presentation, but with a hint of provencal spice, very well-balanced and very drinkable (and not very complex). No idea when this was bottled or made, but a code on the label says L.06.13-07.08. No idea whether this means something or not.

That said, it was young and his wines do crazy things with enough time. I have some other bottles, will write another note when I try another.
