Community Tasting Note

Monday, June 22, 2015 - Singapore Airlines - Business & Lounges; 6/22/2015-6/26/2015 (Sydney, Singapore, Frankfurt): {cork, 14%} Plummy, blackcurrant nose; very new world. The palate has a dirty tobacco note though; earthy; not really old school, just fungal and not at all what the nose promised. Tannins are fine and dusty; quite drying too; it’s at least medium-bodied, and you sense every percent of the alcohol, which gives it a slithery kind of texture. The finish is pretty low key though, despite that tannic tobacco note charging through; it’s only medium length. I guess this will hold a while, but I’d be surprised if it ever rose much above ‘serviceable’.
