Community Tasting Note

  May 18, 2010 - Shannon's Birthday Dinner (The Fountain (Four Seasons, Philadelphia)): Past its prime, but still an enjoyable bottle. Showing signs of oxidation. Lemony citrus on nose with sherry like character. This exhibited a good amount of smoke, charcoal and molasses on the palate. This mellowed after some time in the glass and developed a nice butterscotch note. I've never had an aged dry white Bordeaux. I quite enjoyed this, though the sherry quality was a little overpowering at times. This was not flawed, but it is beyond its ideal drinking window if you are looking for something brighter with more citrus and minerals. Neverthless, I see this continuing to mellow in the next few years and it should continue to drink well.
