Community Tasting Note

Sarastro Likes this wine:

Saturday, March 25, 2023 - Opened 2 hours in advance, pouring a glass to check it out during that time and to open the neck of the bottle.

Opted for not decanting and choosed Zalto burgundy stems to follow the evolution during dinner. Last previous bottle I opened was in 2015

Deep dark ruby, still very young in color.

The nose is very focused on mature black currant, black cherry and cassis. A touch of more balsamic notes lingering around; spearmint and liqorice. After the first phase it starts showing more earthy notes, some wet leather but always very clean en focused.

Balance is the motto of this wine. Complex but not over complicated.

In the mouth the acidity shows its nice presence while the tannins are fully integrated. velvet touch. Medium long finish.

In the last 7-8 years it has lost a little bit of the previous exuberance, although very elegant, and gained that earthy touch. That said it hasn't changed so much.

Kept in climat/humidity controlled cellar

Wish I had more bottles of this 2004.
