Top Notes For

9.1

I am between a rock and a hard place here. This one is between a 91 and 92 in my opinion, but I am settling more towards 91. The whole cluster fermentation on the nose and palate are really the number one thing about this wine. Raspberry, tobacco and herb. That being said, it finished a little bit funky. Just could not get over the finish... Lost a lot of style points there! A little past prime. If you have these, better make plans to start drinking on them!

豊かな陰性な香り。黒系ベリー。
味わいは果実味豊かで、程よい熟成。alc14度のパンチはある。

最低10年は寝かせるとのことで、10年ものを。
色は薄く、茶色っぽい。透明度もらあり、カリピノというより、ブルゴーニュ寄り。
味もカリピノというより、ブルゴーニュっぽい感じで、美味いが、好みじゃないかなぁ。
