Community Tasting Note

Sunday, December 9, 2018 - 2/12, very good cork. Decanted 1 hour. Bottle #075318.

Medium/deep ruby/garnet core, pale garnet rim. Initially I though this maybe corked, but on returning to it later I found it was fine. It had a dark fruited, leathery nose, with smoke and plenty of vanilla. Surprisingly sweet and ripe. Medium bodied on the palate, with dark, leathery fruit, smoke and again, quite a lot of vanilla. This has attractive vibrant acidity and good depth with a very good length if still quite firm finish. I think it will be better in 2-3 years time and last quite a few more after that - next bottle 2 years. Much better than the last bottle I had.
