Community Tasting Note

flawed

Tuesday, November 1, 2022 - Flawed bottle which had been left out in a warm room in Singapore for 2+ years. On the nose surprisingly promising showing mature earthy and leafy claret notes with a touch of stewed dark fruits. Palate not undrinkable, but with some harsh notes of matchstick on the finish, betraying its poor storage. Stewed cherry and cassis with a mature leafy undertone. Still good acidity. Overall this was tolerable to drink and I was happy to try it. I imagine it would be a pretty decent mature claret if stored correctly!
