Community Tasting Note

Thursday, January 20, 2011 - Dinner at Michaelangelo's (Michaelangelo's, Holland Village): From a 375ml. I had quite forgotten that I tried this before, and my impressions are entirely in line with those of two years ago. A very nice, but unspectacular Barsac. This had the advantage of drinking very nicely at the moment. Nose showed typical botrytis scents of burnt suga, rubber, apricots, dried peach and some stewed tea. The palate had a soft, creamy textured buffered by nice acidity. The sweetness has started to come down a bit, but there were still plenty of honeyed tones, with golden peaches and apricots mingling amidst more raw sugar notes. Finish was a little diminished and had a little angular touch of iodine, a bit weaker here than from the full bottle in 2008. But that aside, the wine was delicious and drinking very nicely. Not sure that this is one for the ages, so no harm opening one now if you have any.
