Community Tasting Note

Friday, March 1, 2013 - Dinner at Michelle and Boren's (Sydney, Australia): This had a really complex, interesting nose, with musky shades of earth, mahogany wood and a whiff of penicillin wed to malty aromas of pecan pie, treacle and golden syrup. The palate was still really sweet even after over sixty years, so much so that I thought this needed more acidity. However, it was far from imbalanced or cloying. In fact, it was actually really yummy, with rich, thick flavours that echoed the nose in tones of treacle and golden syrup, pecan pie and malt, sprinkled with sweet five spice notes over a molasses filled finish. This had superb complexity wed to a delicious more-ishness. Almost perched between a vintage Port and an old Madeira in character, it was a unique wine of real character. A treat.
