Community Tasting Note

flawed

Wednesday, August 15, 2007 - Pulled the cork and was greeted with vinegary, sewer-y, perhaps lactic aromas. Took a sip and let's just say it tasted not unlike the nose (phew). Dumped the bottle into a flower vase (makeshift decanter at my friend's pad) and the wine seemed to spritz a bit as it filled the vessel, so perhaps this bottle has many problems. Curiously the wine almost pulled itself together with an hour of decanting, but remained undrinkable, the nose and palate still dominated by that strong whiff of vinegar.
