Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, June 29, 2022 - Night out in Covent Garden (Noble Rot and 10 Cases) (Noble Rot / 10 Cases, London): Very nice, but not quite the knock-out I expected it to be. It promised much on the nose, which was just gorgeous, with subtly layered aromas of honey and treacle, candied apples and sweet florals, and then bassier notes of earth, spice and mineral, all this lightly laced with some classic lanolin notes. I felt the palate was still a little too sweet and slightly monolithic after that knockout of a nose. There was enough acidity to keep it balanced, unless paired with Stilton, which was amazing, but nicely balanced, but it just felt a little less finely drawn than I would expect. Nice flavours though - candied apples, honey, straw, and a little hint of molasses moving into a long finish that had a linger of spice bad lanolin. When paired with Stilton and nuts this just sang. I must say though, it was nevertheless sweet enough that finishing a bottle between two people was a bit of a struggle.
