Community Tasting Notes 7

  August 7, 2022 - A lean, easy drinking wine with mature qualities that are just not interesting. Good cork and the oxidizing qualities are very near and a little here.
  
  First time I saw the flask, I thought "tourist trap". This wine is (unfortunately) towards that end. Poor wine with a price tag...
  
  Wish I could say more than: "I'm happy that this was my only bottle."
  
  Still, 90p is quite the quaffer and quite the drinker. But, the... I'm tired...

  October 20, 2019 - This is a bit on the austere side. Dark in the glass, light nose, on the palate cherry, vanilla and some spice. The finish is smooth, previous clearly present tannins now better in control. This is at a very good spot for drinking.

  August 13, 2017 - Fantastically shaped bottle. Despite its 11 years old, the wine presents itself dark purple in the glass. Nose is light. Tannins still strong and slightly dry. Lots of fruit and spice. Very good right now, maybe fantastic in 2 years time.
