Community Tasting Note

Monday, February 9, 2015 - NobleRottersSydney - top 86 Bdx (mostly) with Grange (360 Bar & Dining, Sydney): {cork, 13%} (Gordon) Amazingly dark for thirty year old. Rivals the Grange. Surprisingly youthful nose of coconut and oak. And black fruit. You’d pick this as five years old, not thirty. Brooding and intense. You could fall into this and be lost forever. You’d swear the palate has some sweet new-world fruit in there; it’s almost jammy in its fruity richness. The wine appears to have lived in some kind of stasis for a quarter of a century; it’s still tight, with medium/high chalky tannins, medium acid; absolutely full-bodied in weight, and a long finish. Massive and impressive, but really far too young to drink. I guess this will be quite something in another quarter-century or more; how’s the 1945 drinking these days? This is all about potential still. Drink in, oh, I dunno, 2060 or so?
