Community Tasting Notes 13

  June 3, 2016 - Honestly, and I know this sounds like a bold statement, this may be the single worst wine I have ever tasted. I have about 15 half bottles of this in the cellar. I last drank it in 2008, when I thought it was swill then. I figured, okay, those 2005 Burgs could be a bit rough in their youth, let's give it some time. But no. It has only gotten worse. Acidic, terse, hollow, empty… vile. This is swill. Yuck. Gross. Worst wine I have ever tasted.

  September 14, 2013 - The nose opens with red fruits - sour cherry and raspberry with notes of floral and forest floor. As it gets air, the nose opens up to show that it is developing some nice complexity as it ages. On the palate, the wine is medium bodied and tangy, showing less complexity than the nose. Sour cherry dominates, with distinct acidity still showing, although the tannins have begun to soften. The finish lingers nicely, with lasting flavors of chalky cherry, although with a wine this acid-driven it really is best with food....think duck or roast pork. You could give this a little longer in the cellar, however it seems like the acid will never fully resolve, so I'd drink it over the next 2-3 years and have it with food for best enjoyment.
