Wednesday, January 15, 2020 - Confrerie Lou Hei dinner with Henri Gouges wines (Jade Palace Seafood Restaurant): Appearance is clear, deep intensity, garnet colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of sweet spices, forest floor earth, leathery animal, dark red cherries. Developed.
On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, medium alcohol (13%), structured high tannins!, medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of dark red plums, dried sour red cherries, sour plum, leathery meat. Very long finish.
Very good quality. Powerful structure that will probably outlast everything else about this wine. Drink up before balance falls further apart.
