  FTLOP 16th Anniversary Tasting; 7/23/2021-7/24/2021 (Seattle, Washington): Amber-pink in color with a touch of cloudiness. Dusty cherry, cinnamon, and some light spirit on the nose. Incredibly rich palate with cinnamon, spirit, and wonderful red fruits. Mid-palate has waves of complexity, giving way to a very long, rich finish. The wine was not decanted, which was probably the right call for where this wine is in its evolution.

  This was from a bottle with a level of Upper Shoulder and yet still had plenty of life. Colour was brick red and yes the spirit slightly dominatied as expected at this age but the fruit was rich and complex and still balanced. From a perfect bottle with a perfect level this elegant vintage will still be holding for another 10 years.

  I noticed this had started leaking a little so it was time to open it. The cork was fully saturated but I managed to get it out in one piece with a Durand corkscrew. Decanted 3 hours. The color on this one has turned more of a redish tawny. Cinnamon, baked brown sugar and Christmas cake nose. The palate isn't showing the a ton of complexity with mostly resolved tannins, rhubarb, baked cherries, and some mahogany which I didn't expect. A bit confected, which I assume is due to some extra air exposure from the failing cork. The finish however was quite long with cherries, menthol and a continuation of that mahogany. There was only a touch of spirit that showed up on the finish, though not out of the ordinary for such an old and delicate VP. This bottle was on the more delicate side, which I presume is due to the cork issue, as I've had others which didn't show so. None the less still a very enjoyable bottle.
