Community Tasting Notes 9

  March 29, 2024 - Bordeaux night: Brought one of the few birth year wines I had since it was a dinner with a few high-school friends. Sweet and vibrant dark red fruit for an awful vintage, a classic luncheon claret that does what it says on the tin. Love old-school Bordeaux that can be bought for a song such as these.

  September 28, 2020 - Started off very hesitant. Was afraid this would be to far gone. Recovered quite well after a couple of hours of aeration. Was surprised to see the aged, ripe fruit take over together with dissolved gravelly tannins. A solid performance given the vintage. Drink up.

  March 23, 2020 - Dim Sum Club at Imperial Treasure Teochew (Imperial Treasure Teochew, Ion): Really youthful, even backward for 1992 Bordeaux - this was surprisingly good. The nose was classic left-bank and quite attractive, with sweet cassis notes infused with plenty of tobacco, tea leaves and cedar. The palate was still shaped with fresh acidity and a good bit of fine tannins, and had a surprising amount of cassis fruit - this really did not drink like an old Bordeaux from a weak vintage. The finish was decent too, with that same trail of spice, earth and tobacco on the backpalate.

  October 16, 2010 - Some meat some leather. Quite black cherries. Good body. V typical dependable aged claret. What is suprising is that this was a supposedly weak vintage but this came out relatively strong character wine.
