Community Tasting Note

• HJImperial wrote: flawed

  May 18, 2013 - A souvenir bottle from our 10th wedding anniversary trip to Languedoc-Roussillon in 2007, paired with grilled New York strip a Provence. Initial whiff of blackberry, cassis (my wife initially thought it was a cab), coffee and leather. Has enough tannin for another 3-5 years of cellaring. Unfortunately as wine gets warmer, saddle leather aromas started overwhelming the wine (brettanomyces). The finely-integrated "fruit bomb" I was expecting did not materialize, I think the wine is still hibernating as Christoffer78 described. A disappointment, esp. after 2 superlative bottles of Janasse 2007 Ch.d.Pape last month. A muted "Viva la Catalonia".
