Community Tasting Note

Monday, July 27, 2015 - I've had much better. This wine was an acid bomb from the start. I don't think it was due to astringency either because it stayed that way for hours. I tried everything I could to coax the acid rain curtain down from the front of this one. Wine poured a medium purple color into the glass. Translucent. Finally after 2 hours I was starting to get some black cherry and cardamom or perhaps some kind of cumin on the entry, medium bodied. The wine finished simply with a black cherry note. Not very complex. Quite disappointed. If someone served it to me I would have been delighted. But even gouda cheese overpowered this wine. Even at the last 50ml, the wine was still quite acidic up front but had softened. My inclination is to rate it an 84, but I just don't know if I really got a fair represntation of what this wine is about. Probably should have uncorked it in early 2016. I think it has the longevity to last until 2017, but don't push it past that.
