Community Tasting Note

hkbob Likes this wine:

Saturday, May 4, 2024 - A 30 minute decant and this was good to go. Burnished garnet. All secondary aromatics of blackberry fruit with some leather, tobacco and spice notes. On the palate, secondary flavours of very dark fruit, with cherry, umami, iodine and a touch of anise. Mouthwatering acidity with some grippy tannins outlasting the fruit on the longish finish so best consumed with some aged cheeses or heartier dishes. The old vines bearing the fruit for this wine have produced something with tremendous longevity and durability. I have been quite impressed with every bottle enjoyed of this over the past 15 years or so. A poor man's Grange perhaps but so delicious in its own right. Bravo.
