Community Tasting Note

At first, very definite leather notes with herbal hints, but with further airing, the wine became very closed with nothing but harsh tannins. Quite variable reactions to this wine. I now have even more reason to believe that taste and smell vary greatly between individual wine drinkers. You have probably seen the famous dress on your iPhone. To some, it is clearly white and gold and to others, it is just as clearly blue and black. You may also have heard a girl saying "Laura," which to many sounds like "Yanny," but to others "Laura". Having said this, my wife and I seldom disagree a lot when tasting a wine. So if your friends and family are sophisticated wine drinkers (otherwise discount them because appreciating wine takes practice and experience), and their impressions are very much different from yours, don't just blow them off. To quote the Latin: "Degustibus no est disputandum (In matters of taste, there is no disputing)." This bottle went through Hurricane Katrina, so I have left it unrated.
