Saturday, October 24, 2020 - Vintage 2010 Tasting; 10/24/2020-10/25/2020 (Bronte, Sydney): very dark, black
deeply fragrant pure cassis, a hint of tar
pure dark berries, just a hint of tobacco leaf, soft and refined, very long, tannins present but very fine, has many years ahead of it, not much development yet, impressive

I just had a couple of quick questions - did you decant the wine before consumption (and, if yes, for how long) and how was the palate weight - was it quite heavy or did it have a sense of elegance would you say?
cheers, chatters
