Community Tasting Note

flawed

Sunday, November 30, 2014 - I was greeted by a layer of mold on the cork as I peeled back the foil. Unpleasant, but not shocking for a 32 year old bottle. Cork crumbled at the mere though of the corkscrew. I was forced to scrape it out and pour the wine through a filter.

The wine itself had a moldy smell and I suspect this may be from contact with the cork bits that fell into the bottle. I fought past the wet basement smell and was rewarded with a familiar Poyferre nose. Shocking amount of structure left in this bottle. In fact, it was strongly reminiscent of the 2007 Poyferre I had recently enjoyed.
