Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, June 2, 2020 - This bottle is still solidly in its window. However, it may be slightly corked. The score should be 91 but I clicked “flawed” to be fair...

Ruby with a significant level of browning, the wine is satiny, with a lovely clarity. On the nose, red currents, beeswax, and a mushroom/loam aroma that perhaps is a bit too insistent (I wondered about TCA, and the cork is not in ideal shape, yet it doesn’t taste corked, so I’ll just chalk it up as reduction). Tart and yet with vivid fruit, again red currents, and a very long mineral finish. Outstanding wine, but definitely time to drink it!
