Community Tasting Note

djhammond Likes this wine:

Sunday, February 11, 2024 - My third of 4 bottles, and my best to date, I've realised this actually needs a couple of hours in an open decanter to blow off tannic funk and come alive. I see glimpses of the great wine that RP reviewed, and respected cellar tracker members have raved about. Another pertinent point is mine were bought at auction with uncertain provenance. The nose merits a 96 point score, and is deeply sensuous with tertiary notes. Blackcurrant is heady underpinned by old leather and cedar. The palate and finish are decent, but the wine struggles to shrug off all its harsher notes. A post script; I left a small pour overnight and the wine had greatly improved. With my last bottle I will decant it all day.
