Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 20, 2009 - CT London Event (Hide Bar, Bermondsey, London): En magnum. Another glorious wine. Any other may have been swallowed up by the 1994 Grange on the same flight, but this more than stood its ground. Beautiful nose, with rich ripe cherries, pomegranates and earthy garrigue and spicy pepper notes. Not for the first time in the afternoon, my notes go "wow!!". Great, great balance on the palate. Rich and very concentrated with lovely stewed cherries and cherry liquer tones, but ever so elegant and beautifully poised with lovely acidity and silky tannins. Finish was every bit as clean and round as the rest of the wine. Not the lengthiest, but very resolved, with melted tannins and a lovely spiciness. Lots of life left on this, but already singing when I tried it.
