Community Tasting Note

Sunday, January 13, 2013 - HM's Bruno Clair SLB 1er Cru La Dominode Vertical + Other Gems (Absinthe, Boat Quay): Third time with the 1988 Clair Dominode. Two years down the road from the last bottle, this seems to be weakening. Still very charming, but it was clearly starting to get tired. The nose was still very pleasing, with little furry hints on the nose along with bassy notes of meat and earth, sweet aromas of dried cherries and dried berries, a little bramble and spice, some floral notes, a line of stony minerality - quite a beautiful bouquet. The palate was very juicy, with delicious flavours of dark cherries and plums blessed with plenty of fresh acidity. It was clearly thinning out a little on the base though, finishing a little short as well, with a burst of spice and some lingering meatiness. Very pleasant still, but time to drink up.
