Community Tasting Note

PanosKakaviatos Likes this wine:

Thursday, January 9, 2014 - Bordeaux matters, along with Burgundy and Champagne and Port and ... (Ripple Restaurant in Washington D.C.): Amazingly good. By this time in the dinner, I ceased taking any notes. But I recall that the Taylor Fladgate from a full bottle was superior to the Dow 1977 from a half bottle: it had more vibrancy and full bodied richness. Delicious with complex aromatics including chocolate and dark fruit but more subtle than these describers indicate. Thanks to Howard Cooper for bringing this to the dinner. I own some 30 bottles of vintage port, but have not opened most of them because too young. This seemed to be in a mid-life area, and will certainly be appreciated for decades more.
