Community Tasting Note

  May 7, 2008 - Wine Cellar - South of France (Wine Cellar): (Tasted Blind): A mid-deep brown colour. Sweet nose, very heady and lifted with notes of fresh spices, treacle toffee (Thorntons toffee) with warmed sliced walnuts inside!, dark (90%) chocolate and some damp oak. Sweet entry, oxidative/rancio but still fresh and nicely balanced, this remarkable wine displays incredible complexity and leaves a lasting impression. Wow!
  Made from 90 yr-old Grenache vines, low yield of 3-12 hL/Ha. Casks kept in the roof of the Maury Coop. The solera system they use (started in 1928?) only removes a quarter of the liquid at any one time,
