Community Tasting Note

Saturday, April 30, 2022 - Perfect cork, easily removed, but I smelled TCA immediately. I tasted it and the taint was not horrible, but it was still there. So, I decided to see if I could fix it or improve the experience. Vigorous double decant and Vac-u-vin did not make much difference. I shook the bottle up and down with a clean stopper in place followed by Vac-u-vin and an hour rest each day before tasting for four days. But, four days later, I can still smell the flaw, it is not as bad, but still there.
I can tell this is a quality Pinot Noir from good fruit; obviously, it can take a lot of abuse. Based on previous experiences with this wine, it can be wonderful and has a great ability to age. I have three more bottles in the cellar and will try more soon. I hope the remaining bottles are not corked.
