Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, January 25, 2023 - Opened and tasted immediately on PnP; seemed a little light and coarse on the nose initially. Gave it time and it came around after about 60-90 minutes

Color/App: medium-deep gold with high viscosity; amazingly light color considering the age. Light bouquet of apricots, mandarin orange, a little smoke and marzipan along with caramel. This still has a sweet, delicious attack, a reasonably plump midpalate with good acidity and a 10-15 second finish. Brown sugar mixed with butter, apricots (again) and creme brulee palate. Really quite elegant and lovely for a 74 year old wine and pretty distinctly shows itself as a classic Barsac.
