Community Tasting Note

Goldstone Likes this wine:

Saturday, May 5, 2018 - The last bottle of a case I have enormously enjoyed over the past 5 years - opened and drank slowly over several hours watching English Premier Laague matches live at home.

Distinctly mature yellowed gold colour. Nose is lemon-flavoured boiled sweets, distinctly burnt creme brulee, slightly sweet old ladies' talcum powder....all very tertiary. Palate is initially very rounded but then breaks out into its component parts of charred oak, barley sugar, rich honeysuckle and overall just moving towards a slight cloying-ness as its more youthful acidity is no longer there. Still quite resonant and reverberant but I'm pleased that i have not kept this final bottle any longer.... I have really enjoyed this wine over so many years but now it's time to move on to the 2009 and 2010.
