Community Tasting Note

Monday, December 17, 2018 - I remember really not liking this wine when I first got it years ago in a club shipment. I got to taste it at the importer's shop, I can still remember how primary and massively acidic it was. So, it was forgotten in the back of my collection and after a recent pick-up from my off-site storage, it ended up at home. Very pale in glass, no bricking. It smells good. Aromas of roses, earth and red berry fruit, medium-low intensity. In the mouth, this in a much more balanced place then it was years ago, yet still with a bright overtone of acid. This time, it's not too much for me to handle. The fruit flavors here are very, very low intensity, like the mouthfeel, which gives the wine an almost watered-down feel. That doesn't sound good at all now that I read it, but it's not bad, and as a weekday wine, I find this quite enjoyable. At least, it's far more enjoyable than it was before. Acid, intact. Tannins, mild but still intact. Palate, fading, or was it ever there?
