Community Tasting Note

Saturday, August 13, 2016 - Olga Raffault Les Picasses - Past & Present Tasting (New York, NY): Library release bottle. Stood up for 24 hours prior to serving. Fill level was to the middle of the neck. Cork was intact with minimal seepage . Black charcoal looking substance (assume dried wine) under foil on top of cork. Slow ox'd for 1 hour prior to tasting. Color was red with moderate browning. Lovely nose of fruit and earth, quite aromatic. On the palate this had a very complete balance of plummy fruit, acidity and earth with a great finish. Mature but - still very much alive. Ready to drink and enjoy now, but expect these have another decade of life ahead. Clearly my favorite wine of the flight and WOTN.
