2/18/2024 - Fugu Me Likes this wine:
From 375ml. Cork was completely saturated, but came out intact with a Durand. Translucent light ruby in the glass. Fruit and raisin notes. Paired well with molten lava cake.

Good Wine with an Exciting Super Bowl (The Krengels - Bannockburn IL): Walkaround tasting. Softened sweetness, good brightness, surprisingly lighter than expected. Always going to have bottle variation at this age, but this didn't quite meet expectations.

Cherry liquor, earth, liquorice and sarsaparilla root. Still quite structured but retains its vanillan sweetness. A joy.

375 ml bottle was at mid shoulder, cork was seriously degraded with obvious leakage. Color is a light orange tawny. The nose is all tertiary, mature cherry, light florals, dried cranberry, walnuts. Would have liked a bit more. On the palate, a beautiful sweetness. Some red fruit still left, but more powerful notes of walnut liqueur, dried prunes, raspberry syrup. A relatively short finish and a bit thin. This was very pleasant, especially given the fill level and half bottle size. A bit over the hill I think, likely better from a 750 ml.

Deep plum color, clear at the rim. Fruit still kicking. More stewed prunes than I expected from Dow’s, and less of the classic nutty flavors that marks the house for me. For this vintage (from memory), I prefer Warre’s.
