Community Tasting Note

Friday, March 18, 2016 - Had high hopes for this, but was generally disappointed. Still very much alive and vibrant. Some bricking but not as much as I'd expect from a 25-ish year old wine. Good acidity. Not at all muddled.

Flavor-wise, though, it was just meh. Stems were a little too prominent, but without adding much in the way of savory interest or complexity. No real tertiary interest.

Better with food, though, still not memorable.

Better on Day 2, where it picked up some textural interest and chewiness, along with toned down stemminess. Still not great.
