Community Tasting Note
shallIshantI Likes this wine:
Saturday, September 17, 2016 - Another vertical tasting, this time with hot beef over mustard greens as a starter, lebanese lamb, then a cheese course. All wines opened 4 hours before the meal. A 2004 Verve Cliquot vs a 2008 Nyetimber to start.
2001 - 92. amazing fruit for a 15 year old wine
2003 - 91. both the 2003 and 2004 were musty on the nose at the beginning but this quickly dissipated. The 2003 was so smooth. A bit of wood (given that they use concrete vats)
2004 - 92 one of the definite stars of the evening. Think cherry sweetness
2005 - 91 still very good and some of our guests remembered this as their favourite. Probably maturing quicker than the other vintages
2007 - 92 we thought this was a '94 in the making. Both the '97 and '98 needed a bit longer
2008 - 92 really need to give this a few more years before we can judge. Lots of promise
There was no 2006 vintage and we gave the 2002 a miss given the 'spritz' we had from previous tastings
Oh, such a lovely time
