Miscellaneous Notes
No lengthy novel this time - two months has passed since this tasting and my memory is getten worse by the day.
Still, I do remember that my personal favourites were the Spaniard and the American. Both very approachable at this moment. Drink and enjoy!
Graillot's Crozes Hermitage was way too young and austere. I cannot understand why Graillot's Crozes always receive high scores in almost any wine publication. This one, for example, was given 93 p. from "Wine Spectator" and 92 p. from "Dina Viner". Maybe they award some extra points for a great future but I don't find the track record of Graillot very impressive so far.
I do beleive, though, that the Italian will have a bright future even if it also has some edges that has to be softened before it is ready. It is super concentrated and will certainly be very enjoyable in a couple of years time.
