Community Tasting Note

Saturday, October 13, 2012 - Mouldy cork. Quite a strong note of oak on the nose. Dark and sappy, with lots of black fruit on the nose, as well as a note of tar. On the palate, this is again very dense and sappy on the attack, with a powerful note of black cherry and a decent acidic spine to balance it all out. Tannins are basically gone. A decent, but sadly not exceptional, bottle, though I imagine some air is needed for it to open up. (Five hours later.) Indeed this has significantly opened. A lot more spice notes (almost Vosne-like at this point), though the tar notes have not budged at all. Hints of earthy funk. Plush and rich. Very modern in style, and quite clear that there were no stems involved in the making of this wine.
