Community Tasting Note

Sunday, February 25, 2018 - It’s not often, but sometimes an old wine brings more than just a pleasing compilation of old wine character. Sometimes there is a palate sweetness that has little to do with fruit, and more to do with the softening and integration of everything that was in the wine when it was young. Then there’s a perfume that is more than dried leaves and damp earth. It’s a synthesis of dried flowers, spices, fruit essence and all the earthy elements as well. It’s captivating, begging for another sniff, another sip. It’s savory along with the sweet. Then it’s gone. The bottle is finished, and what’s left are memories and taste ideals that are almost impossible to meet, much less exceed. Yet the experience was that special, and the memories remain rewarding as long as they can be sustained in palate memory.
