Funny, how you can take a good wine, add a great setting…and the wine rises to another level. And that sound like a perfect setting to me.

Now 11 years since vintage, this wine shows a garnet core with hints of ochre at the rim. The nose displays gentle notes of stewed autumn fruits with a twist of charred rubber. The palate is full and layered, with matured tannins wrapped in forest fruits. The wine has a fresh acidity in full balance with the tannins and leaves a long and satifying finish. Without doubt the wine of the night. 92/100

It’s true. My husband, who’s a professional photographer (did Knack Book) was with me but I think I could have a budding hobby. LOL.
