Saturday, September 16, 2023 - Wow, again! And thanks to Alfert for supplying this, again. The 2005 is a singularly perfect wine; it’s got to be one of the wines of the decade. This wine is an amalgamation of tropical fruit, cold weather fruit, myriad mineral traits, and tons of synesthesia words… while I totally agree with the “every tropical fruit under the rainbow” description, I must temper that with the fruit is is no way sweet, or cloying, or heavy in any way. In a sense, there is the essence of pineapple, pear, peach, Fruit Loops, quince, apricot, tangerine, lime, with some apple peel and lime peel. The wine is steely, flinty, and possessing a perception of wet cut limestone. It has a quality that I can only describe as a fantastic dull citrus and steel perception. It swallows beautifully and is so long. It is the kind of wine I could spend all day and night with… “It is precious to me!”, said in my best Sméagol voice. Thanks a ton Robert for bringing this!
