A languid lunch with friends on a day punctuated by rain. I've had this particular bottle for five or six years. Like all other wine obsessives I can recall where and when it was procured with disturbing clarity.Despite the multiplicity of adjectives, my tasting note is less clear, disjointed snippets gleaned by a tourist. . . A dusty, leafy nose with aniseed, menthol, stems and tar. Large and firm, the vigour and pace are obvious and the impact lasting. Inky, granular and bold, the tannins and finish are parching and slightly sappy.

Love reading your tasting notes! Impressionistic poetry! Regards
Alex,
Far too kind, despite drinking more wine than I should it's good to come across wines, like this, that challenge and are hard to pin down.
