Community Tasting Note

Friday, February 5, 2021 - A little funky for the first 20-30 minutes. Had sort of a boiled tart plum and prune note and was a little funky metallic. But, this settled really nicely after just leaving it alone. I guess it needed a bit of time to stretch the legs after a 25 year hibernation. Poured a nice dark ruby red but there was a bit of browning. The notes on the entry were overripe black cherry, some mushroom, fig, tart, roasted plums. Definitely developed more shape and more of a backbone. Finished with a vegetal quality and some smoked meaty character but for the most part retains the aged black cherry backbone. Really not much tannin here, and tamed acidity. Starting to lose some structure though, and I think that this wine is definitely over the hill. Going, but not gone. Probably would have been better with some dehydrated fruits and charcuterie of some kind, but this was pretty much served a la carte.
