Saturday, August 5, 2023 - Papies at 30 (The Waterside Inn): Decanted and served after 30 minutes.
Of course a very elegant wine and true tot he pedigree. The nose dominated the experience though and the palate fails to follow and indeed has this harshness of the 1996 tannic structure on the finish that sort of spoils the beautiful salvo of aroma that the nose sends. Leather, cedar, earthy, well mature but still with life on the nose. Palate does not follow to this level and is an outlier vs the other Top end wines who seems to have become softer and almost Burgundian. Still an impressive 94 but a lowdown given the pedigree and vintage.
