Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, August 15, 2018 - Beef and Vosne (Holland Park): Really nice, but perhaps half-a-decade too young. The nose was a lovely melange of sweet dark cherries, lifted spice and some earthy tones. A bit of glycerol distracted slightly, but otherwise very nice. The palate was nice and strong too, with a good textural depth lent to it by slightly powdery tannins and decent acidity draped over a delicious core of dark cherries and more savoury, almost umami sour plum notes. Still tight, with something monolithic about it, but this was such a strong wine at 20 years old. Nicely balanced and poised throughout. Good long finish too, long and powerful, with a real punch of mineral, earth and a little kiss of spice. Still needs easily 5-6 or more years yet, but this was quite impressive.
