Community Tasting Note

Saturday, October 28, 2017 - A gorgeous and complex stunner that evolves and expands greatly over a couple hours. Open early before drinking!! Great earthiness and mushroom come through after some time and the black fruit, cherry and tannins recede a bit. Notes of tarragon and fennel are on the nose, shallot skin (yes, weird I know) and just a hint of orange zest and flowers. There is also an umami reminiscent of Worcestershire sauce but in a wholly pleasing and delicious way. Some meatiness but also a bright and vibrant freshness to the wine. Green peppercorn on the front which recedes and only comes back again at the end of the very long finish. It’s beautiful but keep holding to see what it does. I think it will continue to develop and change.

Served with roasted chicken thighs in herbs, white wine and Dijon jus and sautéed Chanterelle mushrooms.
