Community Tasting Note

Saturday, December 14, 2019 - DRC vs Leroy Dinner (Kheam Hock Road): A night cap for late stayers at the end of a ridiculously fabulous evening. Bottles in 2018, this was very nice, if rather shockingly youthful for a 50 year old tawny. The nose had a little drift of alcohol and penicillin, but after that there were nice notes of sultanas, dried dates and figs, and shades of mahogany and almonds. The palate was absolutely dense and concentrated, with a rich, creamy, almost oily texture its flavours of red cherries, cranberries and raspberries, even prunes, all infused with a lovely bit of spice, earth and mineral. There was a lovely energy and verve to it, so much that it seemed almost unsually bright and lively 50 year old tawny, but this was delicious nonetheless. My only complain was that it was a touch less than perfectly integrated, and maybe missed a bit of the mellow roundness of great old tawnies. Otherwise, very nice.
