Community Tasting Note

Sunday, March 28, 2021 - This was another casualty as we enter month 13 of the lockdown and the relentless assault on my cellar continues....

Medium ruby appearance with little or no sign of lightening.

Pronounced and evolved nose of black fruits, cassis, vanilla, spice and some floral elements (maybe violets). The nose is just gorgeous and shows no sign of fatigue.

Medium plus body with plenty of acidity and tannic structure. the mouthfeel is wonderful and some further savory elements are revealed on the palate. The finish is definitely long.

Just a great example that totally refutes the reputation of this being a "cooked" vintage. This bottle was purchased on release and has been stored properly ever since. Bottles stored properly will probably last another decade at least.... but no real reason to wait.
