Community Tasting Note

davidandrose Likes this wine:

Tuesday, July 3, 2018 - While I’ve always been a big HSS fan (it was our wedding wine nearly 22 years ago) this was not as good as I recall from my last bottle 2 yrs ago. Aired from bottle for an hour, then a hour in the decanter, then followed over 2.5 hrs.

Muted nose of dark coffee and mocha with spice box. Medium-light mouthfeel; there’s some weight and structure to the wine but the finish is fairly brief at 10-15 seconds. Tastes more old world than typical for a HSS; Nothing really wrong with the wine other than the finish is not as rich or layered as I typically expect. Imagine this is bottle variation based on other notes and prior experience.
