Community Tasting Note

Peter Sydney Does not like this wine:

Saturday, March 2, 2024 - Really dissapointed. On the strength of the reviews both here and elsewhere I bought a case of 6 (OWC) from a reputable Bordeaux supplier. On opening, the cork and wine was not faulty, but on the first taste it had this incredible bitterness to it, I decanted for 4 hours using an oxygen machine, tasted again and decanted for a further 4 hours, whilst the bitterness was reduced it still was overwhelming, like bitter chocolate. Perhaps most people like that, I certainly don’t. I then hoped it would be better with food, meatballs and spaghetti, so a robust meal for this wine, but again this underlying bitterness was very apparent. I have nailed the case down with the remaining 5 bottles in it and placed on a bottom shelf in the cellar in the hope that given time this will become a good wine, fingers crossed.
