Community Tasting Note

Monday, May 6, 2024 - Seventh bottle from a full case purchased en primeur. Pristine condition, perfect level and cork. Opened two hours in advance. A particularly fine bottle. Richly fragrant nose, roses, crushed red berries and spices; creamy texture, energetic but gentle palate, almost Burgundian in style, lovely density of ripe but fresh fruit, elegant and well-balanced, firm papery tannins; the dry but appetising finish indicating full maturity. Dedicated to the memory of Alexander Overdiep (b. 1951, d. 2024), long-time member and former president of the Académie des Cinquante, who recently reached the eternal vineyards on the other side.
