Community Tasting Note

NickBurwood Likes this wine:

Sunday, April 19, 2020 - Is this wine immortal?!
5+yrs since my last note but still on its never-ending plateau. Slightly harsh acidity at first decant but quickly blew off by the time it hit the glass 30mins later. Core fruit of dense wild strawberry and brulé black hedge and stoned fruits, smoke, earth and charred oak. Very little vegetal character given the extreme age. Touch of capsicum adds interest and (after breathing) shows well balanced acidity. Long. Perfection.
Will hold my last bottle for its 50th birthday in 2026. I have little doubt that it will still be chugging along towards the never ending horizon!!
