Community Tasting Note

• NickBurwood Likes this wine: 93 points

  November 21, 2012 - Decanted 15 mins before first glass.
  Clear edge in glass but not brick rather deep rich red colour.
  Vegetal warm nose.
  Bramble fruit with spiced cooking apple flavour and acidity - but in no way astringent. All still enclosed in gentle furry oak. Fades on palate after 30 minutes (remember 1954!!) to a pleasing delicate hedge fruit pastille aftertaste.
  Evolving by the minute in the decanter/glass but fabulous for its age.
  Remaining bottles reserved for my 60th in '14 - will inevitably be variable, but who cares if this bottle is par!
