Friday, December 28, 2018 - Tasted November 2015, with me thinking that the note was lost - I am glad that I emailed myself...
Decanted for two hours. This ethereal goddess is perfect in every imaginable way. Massive, yet very refined, the layeredvelvety, yet, silky tannins build with ease, yet do not detour, remaining sweet. The finish is like a glider that does not quit, with each sip remaining quite epic. There are copious nuances, such as cassis, blackberry, Chinese five spice, blueberry liquor, black lava, tile and flowers like freesias and plumeria. The colour is garnet and almost black at the core. Every sector of your palate is appreciating such glorious fruit that exudes all things majestic. This reminds me of a more sublime version of the prodigious ‘03. If one prefers the more diluted, hardened clarets, they would not appreciate this; however, if one prefers the more generous vintages, they would adore this. I seriously cannot find a flaw and this will last many decades. Drink 2022 -.
