Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 19, 2008 - Unsurprisingly better than a sister bottle that was mid shoulder (this was at the base of the neck I guess).

Again that freshness of blackcurrant fruit with a pleasant leafiness supported by classic tobacco notes, but in this bottle there was more depth and complexity. Perhaps drying out a little (but no more than you'd expect) and with a faint hessian like element on the finish (not in the 'corked' sense though). Acidity was lovely & refreshing & really carried the wine through.

A lovely wine to just sip and savour, really building complexity in the mouth.
