Community Tasting Note

Derek Darth Taster Likes this wine:

Saturday, December 23, 2023 - Xmas dinner at Old Holland. Needed my Durand to extract the last bit of broken cork. Shoulder ullage. Advised them against decanting this - good call. Fruit faded after about an hour of air in bottle. Drank in Gabriel Standart.
Apearance is clear (sediments toward bottom quarter of bottle), medium intensity, ruby colour with thin garnet rim. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of tobacco, cigar, tertiary earth, bell pepper, cedar. Developed.
On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, medium- alcohol, mellowed resolved tannin, medium+ body. Medium flavour intensity, with flavours of cedar, tertiary earth, tobacco and old cigar box, some blackcurrant. Medium+ finish.
Very good quality while it lasted. Elegant and regal. Drink up.
