Community Tasting Note

Saturday, December 2, 2023 - J Bday dinner at Wimborne. Pop and poured. Drank over 1+ hour. Drank in Grassl Cru.
Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium intensity opening up sightly more with air - aromas of fresh leather, clean meat, red cherries, strawberries, stone dust minerality. Just a hint of some strange sulphurous fried egg turned up later also. Developing.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), medium tannins, medium body. Medium flavour intensity, with flavours of brambles, wet stony minerality, thin red cherries with an austerity feel. Puts on more density as it got more air time - showing darker red cherries and red berries and some Gevrey animal meat. Very juicy saliva-inducing long finish.
Very good quality. Was really just itching to try this, though the experience does point towards the best still being yet to be. Just a bit more time.
