Community Tasting Notes 3

• Chekib m. Does not like this wine:

  January 4, 2024 - Still medium to deep garnet.
  Intense but strange nose. Has licorice and kirsch aromas, and another very strong unpleasant smell that I can not pinpoint. It is very distracting.
  It’s Full body, medium acidity, soft but present tannins, very ripe and sweet fruits, licorice with some prunes and liqueur flavours. Good length and balance. However the smell makes it really unappetising.
  Not rated.

  December 10, 2021 - A carbon copy of my Oct 20 note. Surprised to find it so consistent, and yet disappointingly so. Over-ripe style. Lacks freshness and complexity. Too much prune juice and alcohol. Drink up.

  October 23, 2020 - {cork,14.5%} Maybe the stubbiest cork I’ve ever seen on a wine of such pretension. Murky deep ruby colour. Developing but prunish and raisin-like nose. Palate has plenty of dead-grape flavours, baked and shrivelled; currants, plums, blackberries. But liquorice, and over-ripeness too. Low/medium dusty, furry tannins, with acidity almost entirely missing in action. Medium/full weight, but with all the hollowness that over-ripe grapes bring. What’s the real alcohol I wonder? Warm, patchy finish, medium length st best, and not especially balanced or even. Disappointed; I thought the 2010 of this had potential, this doesn’t have the same future in my view. Missed the target.
