Community Tasting Note

WyattTheSomm Likes this wine:

Monday, June 20, 2022 - I hope my review helps A lot of people understand this wine better and clears up all the negative and positive review juxtapositions here.

Sight: Beautiful Medium ruby garnet color clearly showing bright orange rim.

Nose: The wine to my surprise was beautifully floral, perfumed dried cherry, strawberry, black current, with secondary notes of Tea leaf, earthy soil, and some graphite.

Palate: On the palate the wine performed similarly to the nose I actually perceived more red fruits in this bottle but yes plum and Black current were present. Great balance and the tannins were at such a great resolve no perceivable bitterness (Somebody mentioned in another review). Just a lovely, pretty wine greeting me with poise and grace not power or austerity.

Overall: Seeing the reviews and drinking these bottles has allows me to see the folly with this vintage; that there is much bottle variation, which is what I suspected from reviews. After a proper decant at L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon and a divine dinner experience at the newly 2 Michelin star rated restaurant I noted how good my final bottle of this was…. For good measure I had the Sommolier as well as the manger have a taste and both agreed this bottle had much life and was not only beautifully aromatic but just a pretty wine showing amazingly well. I hope this maybe gives everyone better piece of mind if you see another bottle you got a 50-50 shot maybe it’s an amazing one like I had for my final bottle and luckily mine was enjoyed over such a good occasion!
