Community Tasting Note

Goldstone Likes this wine:

Sunday, July 17, 2016 - Sunday Lunch at Friends (Their House, Pok Fu Lam, Hong Kong): Slightly more golden when last drank two years ago. Small and short-lived mousse but we were drinking from meduium-sized wine glasses. Languid and persistent streams of medium sized bubbles. Muted bready nose and with some slightly varnish VA.....the VA blew off but the nose never really came out of the closet. Palate is lovely green/red apples balanced by apricot stones, some Epsom Salts; rich and typically Sir Winston. Actually it develops a lovely effervescence in the mouth that comes to the fore with more time in the glass. It also gets more refreshingly appley-citric and with more Epsom Salts with extended time in the glass. Brown bread and slightly dry and unevolved finish and, whilst needing more time to mature it is already heady and resonant in that signature Sir Winston way. If you are lucky enough to have the choice, I would drink the 1999 for now and keep the 2002 tucked away for a few more years. My last note was, "wow, that gets really good if you drink the bottle slowly".
