Community Tasting Note

KidC Likes this wine:

Sunday, October 13, 2019 - Decanted for approximately 1.5 h. Fine nose, not reductive nor wide open. Lead pencil, blackberries and minerality at first. Later comes scents of spices: musk, cinnamon and cumin, almost Barolo-territory. Perhaps also some caramel. In the mouth the wine is rather perfect, perhaps to perfect? Lean and elegant. Mid length, still nice acidity, dry well-integrated tannins. About two hours after the bottle was opened the nose goes slightly muted, but also where length and body of the wine increased substantially.

This wine was in a very interesting spot. Not completely dried out and still with a lot of fruit left. No need to hurry to pop the cork.

Obviously expectations where very high here. As a wine: great craftsmanship and an very interesting experience. Given how much this vintage fetch these days: extremely doubtful QPR.

Paried with a very nice filet of beef, a Jerusalem artichoke mash and reduction of red wine. Nice pairing.
