Monday, July 14, 2014 - Birthday Celebration 2014 (Extra Space): Popped and poured. Last minute addition to compare with the 1978 Pavie.
Appearance is clear, deep intensity, dark ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, pronounced intensity, with aromas of toasted vanilla oak, milk chocolate, black cherries, blackberry, and plums. Hint of green bell pepper with more air. Developing.
On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, medium alcohol, velvety soft medium+ tannins, full body. Medium+ flavor intensity, with flavours of ripe dark fruit - black cherries, blackberry, and plums. Long finish.
Interestingly though, the fruits seemed to recede after a while and the green herbaceousness started showing more. ?Wet September in 2001.
Very good quality. Can drink now. Suitable for further ageing. Interesting to see how this turns out in another 5-8 years.
