Community Tasting Note

Friday, April 23, 2021 - Birthday Lunch at Les Amis (Les Amis, Shaw House): Lovely stuff. A tad young, but really lovely even now. The nose was really perfumed, almost Chambolle-like, with a lovely blush of rose petals littered over a core of red cherries and slightly darker blueberry notes, these trailing away into a linger of mineral and bramble aromas. There was a hint of oak, but not quite enough to distract. Very nice indeed. The palate was really pretty too, with silky tannins and really lively acidity framing crystal clear flavours of red cherries, again shading in blueberry tones, and then a little trail of spice leading into a lightly mineral finish, again just lightly kissed with a bit of oak. A touch light on its feet for a Grand Cru, and maybe a tad short, but this was a beautifully pure, transparent wine. Elegance in a glass I thought. Drinking nicely after a couple of hours in the decanter now, but it should get better over the next 5 years and beyond. Really enjoyable. 93+
