Community Tasting Note

John III Likes this wine:

Saturday, August 19, 2023 - Decanted 2.5 hours. Drank with frankfurters, beans on toast, and topini. The wine's cork was perfect. When I decanted, the wine already smelled heavily of its ultimate perfume and chocolate, plums, dark cherries, nearly port. A large amount of sediment in the bottle and a bit in the decanter. I took a small taste at the one-hour mark. I could sense a core of fruit, but gritty and a slightly maderized flavor obscured it. I let my wife taste. She wasn't sure either, but she thought it would be good. To serve, I returned the wine into its now clean bottle, straining the sediment. Its aromas upon opening were now its flavors, plus a touch of mushroom or earth. I could not inhale this wine enough. An absolute gorgeous example of why I love wine so much.
