Community Tasting Note

johnrm Likes this wine:

Saturday, April 18, 2015 - Good colour, still only a trace of brick on the rim. Good legs. Good fruit on the nose when first opened and decanted.
After 2h, black fruit and prominent spice on the nose. Decent fruit, the balance of black and red fruit altered with time, becoming slightly more red. I still get fruitcake and a little spice on the relatively light palate. With time in the glass, the spice/herb notes began to displace the fruit a little but traces of raspberry and then orange developed with cherry and damson fruit and skin. Soft tannins with a touch of vanilla ice cream later.
After 3h with food (rare sirloin), the wine opened and developed. A very nice last bottle of a case which has given great pleasure since 2005.
