Vigne de l'Enfant Jesus 2010

I blogged about this vineyard a fortnight or so ago, but have not blogged about the two or more times I had tasted this wine. I had tasted this wine before the dinner in mid September, but I have not yet located those notes. I had also read a description of this wine as well and my impression from the previous tasting would agree with that account that this is indeed a special wine. As for the 2010 tasted the other day, it was a limpid deep rose, with a sweet strawberry fruity nose. This sweet strawberry fruit continued on to the palate, supported by a mainly acid backbone with minimal hint of tannin. Nice now, but would love to know what treasures further age will reveal (say in 2020!)
