Community Tasting Note

ElAzul Likes this wine:

Sunday, April 24, 2022 - Cork wet all the way to the top and barely a pop when it came out but at least it was in one piece. Dominant nose of esrth, dust and some forest floor funk. The nose of funky Bordeaux is still there after 28 hours open but the fruit is just now beginning to emerge though there is still a rough tannic or acidic note to the flavor. However as the dark fruit finally emerges the finish is starting to lengthen and is more harmonius. Did I not decant this enough before tasting? Regardless compared to some other 90 Bordeaux it is not as accessible. The bottle and cork were not totally flawed I wonder if the long run up the cork may have affected the wine? In conclusion it is much better tonight than yesterday upon 2 hours open do maybe it still has some time in bottle to evolve.
