Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Friday, February 14, 2014 - 2009 and 2010 CSJ Horizontals Tasting: Tasted with all 2009 and 2010 Clos St Jacques. Bright ruby. Nose a little more muted than the 2010 Fourrier or Rousseau CSJ but attractive aromas of spice, musk, red cherries, redcurrants and raspberry, with a top note of violets. On palate, very primary and a little shut down. Fresh with nice attractive acids, well balanced, with real back palate intensity and good length. Very polished, fine tannins with flavours in the red berry spectrum. Hard to score at this stage, and needs long term cellaring but, largely on potential, 93.
