Community Tasting Notes 8

  November 29, 2020 - Opened wine tasted, not drinkable. decanted for 3 hrs not drinkable. Gassed it and left it over night, next day undrinkable. Wine wasn’t corked or anything, it was just a mess of alcohol on the nose with maybe some leather and fruit. Palate was griping tannins with a high alcohol and sugar after taste.
  
  Will stick to France or higher end wineries with proven track records for my Bdx blends. Wine ended up down the sink.

  May 18, 2017 - Tasted in a horizontal with the three other Tamarack reserves from 2007 (Sagemoor, Seven Hills, DuBruhl, and Ciel du Cheval). Great wine that has aged well. Candied red cherry and leather nuances. Well integrated tannins. Very long finish.

  February 13, 2016 - This started out with great promise. The glass quickly filled with crème de cassis, violets, and dry herbs. On the palate, this had a latent tannic grip along with cassis, smoke, and black fruits. The finish on this is pretty clipped.
  
  After about 90 minutes this really started to unravel with the aromas turning into menthol, and the tannins overshadowing the fruit that had started to fade.
  
  When I want a Bordeaux blend in the future I will stick with a Bordeaux wine.

  January 8, 2016 - Opened and there was significant sediment around the cork. This is my second 2007 Tamarack in the last few weeks. I continue to be disappointed by the wine, particularly in light of the cost. On the nose this offers up creme de cassis and smoke. On the palate this has black currant and smoke and not much else. A short finish with limited complexity.
  
  I have a cellar with Bordeaux at half the cost of this wine that is far more complex.
  
  Drinking my remaining Tamarack wines to clear the cellar to make space for other options.

  September 27, 2015 - Consistent with a bottle opened in early July, but the consistency is where the conversation ends.
  
  This really needs to be consumed the same day it is opened. The wine does not hold up well a second day.
  
  I don't see this going much past 2016. I have two bottles left and although this is a Bordeaux blend, it does not match up to the cellar full of Bordeaux that we own.
