Commemorating a hopeful day with a wine of my approximate age, thanks to the generosity of some very good friends, the Slatterys. (Taking the cork out without a Durand was like battlefield surgery.) Still alive and kicking. Color is quite tawny at this point, but it’s so fragrant. Some rich fruit and loads of tertiary notes of mahogany and nutty notes. Not super sweet. Elegant and soft texture. Alcohol integrated beautifully. Long.

Heft with great supple burnt sugar. Cinnamon, cola & spice orange rind finish that lingers. Long road ahead still.
