Community Tasting Note

WojteG Likes this wine:

Thursday, January 5, 2023 - Why did I open it today? Two reasons. I drank a 2005 vintage a few months ago and gave it was excellent, great and unique. That's why I wanted to check how different 2001 is. The second reason is that a few weeks ago I drank 2000 Domain de Vieux Lazaret ChdP and was a bit disappointed, so I wanted to see if the age of the wine matters here.

Yes this wine is definitely different then 05, but the same time much better then 00 from Lazaret.The answer is obvious.
Age matters
Producer matters
This La Nerthe is still delicious, but not unique like 05. I would say it's classic like many other good ChdP wines. It has lovely smell of wet forest, tobacco, minerals, red fruits, but nothing else.
Taste has lovely flavors of red cherry mixed with milk chocolate and minerals, but nothing else. Soft tannins and acidity of course. Way too short finish with spice and chocolate ( nice!).
