Community Tasting Note

Friday, December 7, 2012 - Wine Bash of the Year 2012 (Jade Palace, Forum Galleria): This was a lovely wine, just starting to slip a bit I think, but really yummy on the night. We had a very matured nose with this one, with plenty of herb and bramble scents floating like a halo around sweeter notes of dried cherries and raspberries, with a touch of black tea and just a bit of flowers rounding up the bouquet. Very attractive. The palate was completely evolved, and nicely yummy, with little touches of flower and spice dancing around a juicy core of ripe cherries and ripe berries. With a bit of air, the midpalate blossomed nicely, to show a meaty, masculine notes leading into more bramble and herb and lots of toasty spice flavours in long finish still wrapped with a fine cloak of tannins. This was quite in the perfect place for drinking I thought, but it is nearing the end of its peak window and should be drank up soon. Excellent wine though, with much of the table preferring this to the 1988 Jayer Echezeaux in the same flight.
