Community Tasting Note

Sunday, February 14, 2021 - From 75cl, perfect cork, decanted 1 hour. Wierd CT TNs here since my previous note on 25.03.2018: looney-tunes, nothing like the wine in my glass. This wine in MY bottle smelled most expansively of superb blackberry/raspberry immeditately after opening and diminshed thereafter, although the menthol-eucalyptus-dark exotic spice undertow remained. Medium bodied (and therefore thinner than expected) it showed perfectly integrated, luxury oak treatment, lush (but slender) dark soft-fruit action and a wonderfully vibrant acidity. Tannins now fully resolved. Ideal pairing: rack of lamb with garlic. I slightly misjudged with highly spiced beef stew, but it was good nonetheless. Drink now-2025, with only a short decant for sediment. 92P
