My daughter turns 10 today and to celebrate we popped this bottle of 20 year old wine.
It's showing a bit of age as there's a brickish rim around the glass and the nose shows tertiary aromas with mushrooms and wet forest soil. Upon opening, black currant and raspberry could still be felt but it faded away since then. There is still tar and a tiny bit of oak in there too. The palate is well designed with a good acid drive, some tangy, black fruits notes, some width, a lively mouthfeel with a bit of grain that leaves a drying, dusty layer over a rather long fruity finish with a pinch of oak. 20 years old and kicking 👍🏻 we had it along ribs we grilled and it did go quite well. — 9 months ago
Waitrose. Excellent PG. Unusual but pleasing fruity notes to it - orange blossom and melon definitely came through - perhaps some pomegranate too. Sharpness of a PG but with some complexity and depth to its flavour. — 2 years ago
