Friday, May 13, 2022 - Paul D's Graves Greats (Piccolino, Exchange Square, London): A very generously shared single bottle of this. Nose is just beguiling. If soley based on the nose - wine of the night by a mile for me. There is real depth of cool blue fruits with a leafy freshness and tobacco depth with some classy wood notes. On the palate the wine's relative youth moves it down a couple of places based on absolute hedonistic pleasure of drinking tonight (the yard stick I use for comparisons) the tannins have a way to go and some of the detail on the nose is a bit reticent. Still a remarkable wine and will be outstanding in 5-10 years. Tonight a stingy 3rd wine of the night but such a treat to savour.
