Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, May 14, 2014 - Tasted twice: when I opened and decanted it 6 hours before the dinner and then at the "Rhone Wine Tasting" and dinner at Bistro Provence, Bethesda:
First taste: Medium carmine Red, turning chestnut at the rim. Soft on the nose, a bit of tar, tart cherries and acidity.
On palate first very soft and subdued then intensity increases and the wine shows a good tannin structure. Overall nice and pleasant but not great. A tired, graceful aristocrat..
Tasting it in the evening: A vegetal nose and a bit thin. Still some refinement about it but nothing to excite the senses.
probably had it open for too long! I guess 2 hours would have been ample.
