Community Tasting Note

ilee Likes this wine:

Saturday, October 11, 2014 - This was part of a box that just came in from the UK, and looking at the upper shoulder fill, I had some misgivings. The cork came out easily, and looked to have been soaked right through at some point in time. After wiping off the residue, I poured it out gently. Ruby with a brownish hue, the wine looked distinctly evolved. The nose had a faint trace of oxidation, but otherwise it was fine. In fact it was very nice, still fruity, just very evolved. Medium bodied with almost no trace of alcohol or tannin, this genteel old wine came through some poor storage conditions with enough fruit and mineral character to provide some very enjoyable drinking. My only complaint is there wasn't a lot of complexity, but hey it could have been a lot worse!
