Community Tasting Note

Saturday, December 18, 2010 - 30-40-50 Dinner (Music and Wines of the 1960s, 70s and 80s) (Bounce, Iluma): Excellent. The youngest claret on show, but this was drinking as well as any of the other wines - at quite a perfect place now I would think. The warmth of the 1989 vintage was certainly reflected in the wine. It had a lovely nose, with rich, warm notes of stewed meat and ripe cassis. Same thing on the palate. Nice fleshiness, with ripe juicy cassis notes, warmly delicious spiciness and pincpricks of roasted capsicum. Finish was succulent and juicy, with some coffee notes at its tail. Three St Juliens by chance, and they all showed some family characteristic in the friendly yumminess of the wines. This was perhaps the most mordern of the three, it was surprisingly velvety and resolved for such a young wine, but it had no lack of breed for all its forwardness. Delicious.
