Community Tasting Note

Sunday, October 27, 2013 - Oh what a frustrating wine! My fourth note and by far the best but all different.
Effectively PnP'd as an emergency follow up to a bottle of Lafite '70 - noted - that garnered the same score but didn't make it (due to consumption - not fault!) to the dinner table.
Good green-gold colour, completely fresh stoned white fruit aromas, not a hint of oxidisation. Viscous rich nectarine, peach & honeysuckle palate, in balance with an unobtrusive acidity and some attractive minerality. Full and with good length. Perfect accompaniment with our roast chicken et al.
Disappeared in a flash. 93+.
Strictly for home consumption (with backup) as far too inconsistent. This bottle would have been good for another 5+ years, others I've had were flawed or past it.
