Thursday, May 21, 2009 - Oddbins New French Wine Fine Wine Tasting (Oddbins Farringdon, London): Nose: Sweaty horse, pig manure, touch of brett/perhaps TCP as well, tobacco, cigar box, cedar, blackcurrant
Mouth: Savoury fruit, venison, licorice, black fruit, cloves, nutmeg, pepper, lovely
I really enjoyed this. When it was first opened the stink of pig manure (and the brett) made us think it might be flawed but, upon opening another bottle, we realised that it just stank of, well, ahem, poo! But it was very nice, both of them. Happily go here again. Far nicer than the 94 I had a few months ago.
