Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, November 20, 2019 - A powerful, original experience. Myriad flavours: sous-bois, black truffle, mushroom, but also pates de fruits (cassis, framboise), pipe tobacco (an English blend from GLP or Dunhill), the whole is supple, subtle and evolves in the glass very quickly. Strong flavours yet a delicate wine at this stage. No need to decant, just stand it up for a few hours before opening. Great with lamb and white beans.
QPR of the century. WOTY for this lad. (Getting the 2001 and 2006 to try as well). So much more nuanced and complex than most Cali wines I own, it makes me want to wail ;)
Chapeau bas to the brilliant folks who make this wine. This is what it is all about.
