Community Tasting Note

Julian B Likes this wine:

Tuesday, December 16, 2014 - Quite a pleasant wine, but it feels it is at a turning point where maybe greatness awaits. All the secondary elements which make these aged marsannes such a beguiling drink are present, if a little subdued, in this wine now, including lanolin and kero aromas, honeysuckle, iced tea and almond flavours and a slightly oily texture. However it also retains a noticeable bit of the slightly bitter primary grapefruit/citrus pith flavour that puts me off the younger wines.

I reckon that a bit more development over the next couple of years should see that primary fruit integrate more fully benefitting the wine, particularly as the secondary flavours become more pronounced. Not sure it will ever rival the greatness, IMHO, of say a '96, but time will tell.
