Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, March 14, 2018 - Birth year bottle enjoyed tonight. Cork withdrawn intact using Ah-So. Cork was not dehydrated or soaked. Dark black, soiled about 20 percent of the way up. The wine poured a dark maroon with slight violet tint. No browning initially noted. The nose was meaty, a bit vegetal. Showed a lot of age. The entry of this wine was at first bolder aged fruits, and then went to a dried red and black fruits. Smoky and somewhat of an "au jus" middle. A little savory. Tobacco leaf and some black tea . Finish is where some fig, a hint of plum kind of showed. Grit on the finish. As this wine sat open, it started to lose its fruit, and was just about gone in 2-3 hours. What a treat!
