Community Tasting Note

Bathtub58 Likes this wine:

Friday, January 25, 2019 - Capsule in tact, cork wet 2/3 up, ullage at the base of the neck.
Day 1: Popped cork, nose indicated bottle was in good shape. Sat open in bottle for 3 hours. Then poured into narrower decanter. Slightly musty nose blew off within minutes. Seductive nose/flavors of red/dark fruits (reminded me of Schrader), earth, but no spice. Initial finish of sweet tobacco that disappeared/reappeared. This wine continually evolved for the first hour and became fresher by the minute. Eventually detected a hint of candied red fruit. You wouldn’t think this was anything older than 20 years. Long finish.
Day 2: less complex, but it didn’t fall off like you would expect. I think this wine still has years ahead of it.
