Community Tasting Note

Saturday, April 24, 2021 - This wine still has a ruby core despite its age and a first nose of honey and cherry pie. The second nose - after a swirl - was leather, lanolin and damson jam. The palate was soft but with some tannic structure. Lots of acidity, which has kept the wine relatively fresh; and plum, nectarine skin and tobacco notes on a very long finish.

I bought a case of this wine at auction recently and am utterly delighted. I had thought that I might try to sell some on, but after this first bottle am inclined to keep a jealous hold.
