Community Tasting Note

  • PSPatrick wrote: 89 points

    February 29, 2024 - Bought on auction recently. Bottle filled upper shoulder (ullage of 4cm), some sediment. The cork is completely soaked, with some seepage under the capsule. Light to medium brick colour. Red and dark fruit, leafy black currant, blackberry, red cherry, red currant, cedar, leather, tobacco leaf, sous-bois, herbaceous notes, spices, balsamic notes and light ethereal notes, with slightly pronounced acidity, fully resolved tannin, and good length. Finishes lightly drying, but the fruit is intact, and all things considered this is a positive surprise! And I am sure there are better preserved bottles out there. Started to fall apart after about one hour. Drink now.
