Saturday, October 13, 2018 - Coravin fun - new arrivals (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. Rich ripe black fruit, plenty of caramel and vanilla, slightly oxidised notes, cream, leather. In the mouth it's juicy with ripe black fruit and a slight redcurrant underpin. Vanilla, leather, sweet spice.

I know I should feel the same about Burgundy but it's a bit like golf for amateurs - every now and then you get a good bottle that means you put up with all those bad bottles (read shots for bottles for the golf analogy). I've given up golf...not sure how long it will take for Burgundy...
