Community Tasting Note

cooberp Likes this wine:

Thursday, March 3, 2016 - A 62.5-ml Coravin pour at 67 Pall Mall in London. Transparent brick color, a bit of sediment. Astonishingly complex nose of barbecue sauce, orange peel, menthol/Vicks VapoRub, Bloody Mary, smoke, and earth. I've come across many of these scents in other wines before, but never on the same glass. Tremendous concentration and density in the mouth for a wine with so little extraction. Old-wine viscosity and length. I would have liked this more 5-10 years ago--the fruit is all gone now, leaving this a bit too cerebral for my palate. But this is still a mesmerizing wine I will never forget.
