Community Tasting Note

auldalliance Likes this wine:

Saturday, July 31, 2021 - Decanted 4 hours ahead. Tawny port colour at first. Not much sediment. Had a sip then, all VA and furniture polish in a not unpleasant way.

Quite raisined sweet fruit and some oak, like a very mature Rioja. You need to like mature wine with tertiary flavours to enjoy this.

Colour seemed to deepen with time, and some fruit emerged. Probably at its best about 8-9 hours after opening (it was finished then!) and may have become better the next day if it had got a chance. Difficult to tell whether this is going to keep going or is on the way down now. Certainly needs a longish decant.

Great with roast lamb.
