Community Tasting Note

Saturday, May 16, 2020 - Another from the list of orphan "not sure it's still any good" bottles that are taking up full double slots. The opened up with an explosive nose of honey, lychee, toasted croissant. The color was deep golden, potentially concerning, but nothing was off about this bottle! In the mouth the richness and opulence was very impressive. I might have liked a little more vim and vigor, which I'm sure it had a few years ago. Still, who can complain about an entry level inexpensive bottle still alive and kicking strongly after 18 years? Drank over the afternoon as we got dinner ready, this definitely benefited from warming up, and continued to impress, though it did eventually shift a little tired. Just goes to show that even the most modest bottles, when well made and from a good vintage, sometimes have the potential to become quite interesting and special.
