The World of Fine Wines
par Michael Schuster le 13/05/2020
Fine and lightly, subtly minerally on the nose; full-bodied, nicely concentrated, fresh in acidity, firmly tannic; very sweet, pure, and transparent in texture, warm, complex, refined
and long to taste, all within a slightly alcoholhardened firm tannin, and with a lovely fruitfragrant persistence. Fine wine, but the marked gravel-aroma element, so much part of its core character for so long, is gone. Will it be there with age? Who knows. They say that terroir always “comes through” ... We can hope. Fine wine, no question, which will give plenty of pleasure … but it is necessarily a very changed expression of the terroir, because the climate element of the terroir has changed so much.
