  • Second blind wine from @Alastair🙏🙏🙏

    Oh boy where we all over the map and needed a lot of hints.

    So opulent and clear new world taste. So Napa? No!

    Who does such ripe style but still everything in balance? Could this be a well aged Vega Sicilia? No🤨

    When he said he 1990 and admitted it was Bordeaux 😳 what is this. After going thru what I could not be eventually got to Baron… superb showing an apex but no rush for probably 15 years.

    98p

  • Decanted for 2 hours. Stern nose, espresso, graphite, black fruit, tobacco and some bottle funk. Firm palate, deep and surprisingly young with hard, polished tannins and moderate acidity.

  • So I bought a cellar; 11/12/2022-12/31/2030: My second experience with this wine. Opened at home with a Durand to make sure the bottle is good and double decant to remove sediment. Cork is in great shape, maybe 1/3 saturated. Poured a small taste. Nose of wet stone, mushrooms, olive brine, and slight barnyard. But mature red fruit mixed with a bit of leather and mushroom on the palate, soft to no tannins, and delicious. I’m excited to watch this one a little closer than when I served it at a blind dinner and experience it.

    As the night went on, this only improved. In a perfect spot. Beautiful red fruit, integrated tannins, and WOTN for many against a stacked competition. Drink up and enjoy.

  • Vinen har en dyp, kompleks og parfymert nese med toner av solbær, timian, lær, mokka, kamfer og cigarboks, sammen med fremtredende animalske nyanser. Den er saftig og voluminøs i munnen, med hint av hengt kjøtt og mørke bær. Tanninene er fortsatt til stede, og den har en noe varm utgang. Fuktig munnfølelse og avslutning med noter av skråtobakk.
