Community Tasting Note

Sunday, June 22, 2014 - From a 375. Lighter yellow-golden color; lighter nose with some peach, some alcoholic heat, thins out quickly; palate is full bodied, fresh, overly sweet at first, somewhat cloying, low acidity, fresh in the midpalate with a bit of peach, fades quickly into thinness; very short finish. This is drinkable and mildly refreshing, but that's pretty much the only positive things about this wine. A huge disappointment for a classified growth in a good year, even at a discounted price of $15/half. I'm glad this was my only one. 78
Day 2: Much less heat on the nose and palate, but very short throughout and lacking concentration on complexity, still a bit cloying. 80
2 weeks open: thinner nose, slight oxidation but less than I was expecting; palate has good sweetness, slightly oxidized, but still drinking well (as well as it did before, which wasn't great). A pass, no improvement.
2 months open: Surprisingly, this was still drinkable. The heat had actually disappeared entirely and this was pleasing, if very simple and short, and with very little perceptible oxidation. Still not worth purchasing at all, but this definitely is better now than 2 months ago. 83-84
