Community Tasting Note

jreis Likes this wine:

Friday, September 2, 2022 - Mediocre vintage, fill level on the bottle was low shoulder at best. Managed to extract a very dirty fully saturated cork, so was not holding out high hopes. Nose was promising, poured a small taste, color was very bricked and pale, but taste was pleasant. Let the bottle sit open for an hour. Picked up significant darker color after opening, with a solid ruby core and some bricking on the rim. Leather, tobacco and gravel on a lovely nose with just a hint of musty earth. Blackberry fruit, granite, coffee on the palate with a hint of tannic structure in the finish. A beautiful old claret that held strong for a couple of hours before starting to fade.
