Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Wednesday, May 31, 2023 - Bought en primeur and cellared in refrigerated storage until opened. Drunk over three nights, during which it barely changed. Colour tawny reddish core, browning and clearing at the rim. Fully mature - for drinking soon (it won't improve from here). Sour red cherry, raspberry and a dash of cranberry. Freshly cut and dried herbs. Persistent, driven acidity, with plenty of fruit volume but it's savoury, earthy and mineral, not at all rich or showing any fruit sweetness. Very much in the 2008/1996 red Burgundy mold. Compact tannins. Irony austerity at it's core - which I enjoy - but your palate may well be different.
