Community Tasting Note

Sunday, April 25, 2021 - This 2013 stands in contrast to the 2011 and 2012, which I found overripe, porty and lacking in structure. The nose here is somewhat green and stalky, with layers of plum and damson fruit and a floral-cedarwood perfume. The classic Musar barnyard note is also present, especially in the residues left behind in the empty glass. On the palate, ripe plums veer into lightly oxidative impressions of figs and prunes. There is a significant level of extract here, with foresquare, angular tannins. Plenty of scope for this to soften and develop in the medium term, as long as it doesn't prematurely oxidise.
