Monthly WTF group recap. Theme this month was “bring something special”. Normally we taste all of the wines blind, but we decided to do a relaxed night with amazing wines at a great restaurant. Spectacular evening!
This was my contribution. Again, it was paired next to the filtered ‘11 vintage and the colors were incredibly different, with this being hay/straw colored with just a touch of cloudy appearance. If guessing blind, I would have called this Aubert SugarShack (which I love). Medley of lemon cream, marzipan and honeyed sea salt on the nose with a rich and powerful profile on the palate, yet it is nimble...perfectly balanced. Sweet oak, caramel dipped golden delicious apple at the finish. — 3 years ago
2007 was outstanding. Decanted 45 minutes and was awed when it opened. — 5 months ago
Balanced. Structured and rounded tannins. Gentle notes of ham and dark berries. Very subtle like all Jarvis wines. David’s 59th with family. — a year ago
Deliciously spicy, soft tannin and lovely velvet quality. Cork had deteriorated somewhat — 3 years ago
Opens right off with pomegranate, cranberry, raspberry, orange, then building acidity through the longish finish. Not complicated and easy to drink. — 7 months ago
