Community Tasting Note

bdhanna Likes this wine:

Friday, March 10, 2023 - Still a bit of a disappointment; I was expected so much more. I agree with my tasting note of almost two years ago.
The cork was nearly perfect after over a decade in the bottle and came out clean. I consumed this Rhone blend over two days. Deep ruby color with no oxidation, clarity medium. Popped and poured, this wine had a bit of astringency. Aromas of licorice, plum, black cherry, and vanilla. Silky flavors of black cherry cola, blackberry, glycerin, and leather with a hint of tobacco and mushroom; and has a slightly bitter medium finish. This blend is reminiscent of an old style Châteauneuf-du-Pape. This age worthy wine may have more years of life left, but I'm not sure it will improve with more time. I still have two bottles of this vintage remaining, I will revisit soon to validate my tasting notes.
