Community Tasting Note

Derek Darth Taster Likes this wine:

Sunday, December 24, 2023 - Christmas Eve dinner at Wimborne. Aired in decanter for 2+ hours. Drank in Grassl Cru.
Raised both eyebrows when this was to be popped. Was expecting austerity and disappointment. Thankfully it showed more than well!
Appearance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberries, redcurrant, dark red cherries. Developing.
On the palate, dry, very good high acidity, medium+ alcohol (14%), fine high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of dark red cherry confit, blackberry confit, blackcurrant + redcurrant, thin layer of tobacco tar, licorice and cassis. Very long finish with lick of spice.
Excellent quality. Luxe and lush yet controlled. Gets sweeter with more air. Bolgheri style I suppose.
