Community Tasting Notes 3

  April 4, 2008 - 1998 revisited ten years on (Nottingham): On first pouring and tasting, maybe 15-20 minutes before the wine went round, this was a bit rank and sulphurous.
  Later, it showed a very smoky nose with a certain dustiness, like the smell of fresh oak barrels in a winery. Very interesting palate. Quite rich and concentrated. There's a bit of an alcoholic burn on the tongue. Very interesting wine. Very Good Indeed?

  Fermented and aged in new oak for 23 months before being bottled unfiltered. It is a mid, bright yellow gold. Rich, creamy nose with some spirity nutty notes. Very full palate: very rich and powerful, almost too much so. Very deep and concentrated flavours. Utterly enormous finish, followed by immense length. Very Good.

  July 10, 2003 - 14.5% abv. Fermented and aged 23 months in new oak; unfiltered and not clarified.
  An interesting medium lemony yellow. A powerful, complex nose assails you with honeysuckle, citrus and a nice toastiness. Good attack. Lots of fruit and a hint of acid. Fills enormously - gosh, this really is a powerful mouthful. Great depth and complexity. Excellent structure. Oak just right. Huge, huge length with acid returning after. Very impressive indeed. Excellent.
