Community Tasting Note

• walkerjfw wrote: 96 points

  July 23, 2018 - Zurich Supper Club Rides Again...in London (CVA, Andrew, Paolo...missing Benoit...) (67 Pall Mall - London, UK): One of my contributions for the evening, drank next to 2008 VHR as the California flight. Decanted and rebottled prior to coming to the restaurant, was open about 2 hours prior to drinking.
  
  Youthful, bright ruby color. Rich nose showing dark berries, medicinal notes (in a good way...), expressive and primary. Palate was black cherry, blue fruits, some (brambly?) blackberry, cocoa powder, mineral notes. Still a concentrated and rich wine, showing secondary notes of blue fruits and oak through the mid palate. Full bodied, long finish.
  
  Really great showing on this evening (maybe WOTN for one of our group). The RP 100 points on this wine had expectations high - it was good but I wouldn't score this bottle as perfect. Really well made - great now, likely has another 15+ years in it....
