Community Tasting Note

94 Points

Thursday, October 7, 2004 - Wine Icons tasting with Sarah Ahmed/Oddbins Fine Wine (Alba Restaurant, London): Deep purple-black core with a narrow ruby rim. Intense, complex nose with notes of coffee, cassis, leather and roast beef. Hints of a slightly astringet, chemical note (c.f. urinals) which did blow off. On the palate an intense fruit flavour of plums, cassis, chocolate, spice, pencil shavings with a lingering mineral finish. Ripe, velvety tannins. Classy.
