2000 Burmester

Post by winesecretary »

From half. Decanted 23 hrs, stored in 'fridge.

95% opaque, red rim. Mint and cinnamon and blackcurrant on the nose. Prune juice on the palate. A hint of russet apple at the edges. Pronounced blackcurrant, more than a hint of molasses, on the finish. Not outstandingly long.

A hint of George Saintsbury's 'black strap' descriptor. Pleasant nevertheless.

Consumed 16/5/20.
