Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 27, 2020 - Magnum rarities tasting (Near Basel): This was part of a rarity old wine tasting hosted by a merchant and collector. All (almost) bottles were from magnum and double-decanted. The line-ups was dominated by aged Bordeaux, but also included two vintages of Unico and one from Martha's Vineyard. The undisputed winners were Pichon Lalande 82 and Lynch Bages 82. The most memorable, however, was the Pontet Canet 29 and St Croix Dumonts 21. The Unico (60, 65) were underwhelming as was – once again for me – Mouton 82.
Tasting note:
Tasted blind, double decanted, magnum. Sweet, red berry type of fruit showing strawberry and red cherry complemented by fresh herbal aromatics and sweet spices. Beautifully layered nose followed by a fresh, juicy palate with all components in perfect harmony. A strong runner-up in this old wine tasting only bested by Pichon Lalande from the same vintage.
