Community Tasting Note

flawed

Friday, August 20, 2010 - Bordeaux North to South (My house): The cork was very loose and disappeared into the bottle at the first attempt to insert an opener. Signs of seepage. Dark golden, rather evolved color; Some volatile acidity. Burned sugar in a pleasant way, some almond drops (a slightly synthetic smell); Shortish and lacks complexity and refinement. Probably stored in a way (too warm?) that made the cork contract.
