Friday, November 6, 2020 - Dinner at Bar-a-Thym (Bar-a-Thym): I learnt my lesson from the last bottle and tossed this into the decanter an hour before service. This time round, it was delicious from the get-go - the bottle finished really quickly, which is always a good sign! It had such a pretty Savigny nose, with flowers and earth, red berries, strawberries, and a nice seasoning of spice. Lovely stuff. Really yummy drinking on the palate too, with gentle tannins of 2011 and a nice bit of fresh acidity lending a very charming feel to flavours of strawberries and cherries tossed up with attractive little bits of spice and earth and mineral, all riding away into a nice finish on a bed of gentle tannins. Lovely, eminently gulpable stuff.
