Community Tasting Note

fokker Likes this wine:

Tuesday, August 30, 2016 - Dinner Shanghaiese restaurant. Cold starters of drunken pigeon and brined duck and hot course of deep-fried frog legs and poin loin called for this 75 palmer. Poured straight from bottle to glass.
Still dark with a slightly brown tinged rim, it opended up nicely with sweet prunes and more prunes, with a long finish. Some complexities of violets and stewed black cherries, stayed alive with no deterioration nor improvement for the hour before we killed the bottle. No noticeable tannin and quite smooth on the palate. A nice drink.
Don't hold on to test your luck, or the stewed fruit might be overcooked and gets burnt.
