Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, March 26, 2024 - A real battle with the cork, which was at the same time very crumbly, put also very well sealed in the neck.
Quite fine sediment.
Immediately the wine gets to the outside world, there's some promising black fruit. Then there's some secondary elevated notes and a touch of muddiness.
Good colour.
Excellent palate. Alive and definitely kicking. Very elegant and soft with just a suggestion of tannins remaining. Some sweet cherry fruit comes randomly along. Equally randomly a touch of lipstick.
Feels a bit simple, as tasty as it is. I'm at that stage wondering whether it needs some vigorous aeration to wake it up, of whether any great aeration would send it to its grave. I suspect the former. Not drinking the whole bottle tonight, so fingers crossed for tomorrow.
But it is very impressive.
