Community Tasting Note

Sunday, June 19, 2011 - My 40th birthday (at home): It's alive (I'm with Duncan here)! The cork came out in three pieces and immediately wonderful notes of cassis whafted from the bottle. I decanted it and we dug into it straight away. The nose improved substantially over several tens of minutes, becoming very rich cassis and many other aged aromas. The colour was a surprisingly deep red, with a beautiful orange on the edge. The palate was perhaps a tad over the hill, but still showed fruit and tannins, with a very long finish. Simply wonderful, clearly provenance was great, if not perfect (bought this 3 years ago). Excellent for that point in life when middle age seems all the more close.
