Cellar Tracker June - 2024
Cellar Tracker
This was a wedding anniversary wine. A clean foil and the top of the cork was pristine. Slight reduction on opening that blocked the aromatic profile for approximately 30 minutes or so. After an hour in the glass this presented a prominent cedar, dried herbs, cigar wrapper, brambly grasses, and a faint cassis. On day 2 the cedar and brambly grass are aromatically predominant. On day one the tannins remain noticeable on the attack where the dried herb, cedar, and tobacco from the nose carry through the mid-palate. A modest lift of acidity keeps this fresh enough to prevent the tannin from overwhelming the palate while preserving the tertiary characteristics throughout the evening. The finish really fans out with good length where a savory herb, plum, and mild tobacco coat your entire mouth with a rusticity of tannin and smoky earthiness. On day two the palate experience is strikingly similar to day one with the cedar and dried herbs continuing to exert influence over the tasting. The finish remains satisfying with a subtle length even after overnight storage. Overall this has a well delineated frame that moves along with an elegant rusticity and a purpose driven finish.

Dark, solid, intense and evolved color. Moderately aromatic, fruity, smoky nose, with a note of cedar. Fat on the attack, suave on the development, with a fruitiness that is still very fresh, the wine evolves well constructed, tasty, with a slightly firm finish.

Delightful and fully mature. The 1988s were chunky and austere for so long but, to judge from this wine, the best have come into their own at last. This was beautifully balanced, even if pretty dry but had evolved a delightfully classic perfume. No more than medium weight but with no tannins left in evidence. Very fragrant and complex
