Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, December 31, 2014 - I removed the cork on this one with issue with an ah-so. Although there was what appeared to be dried wine on top of the cork, the cork itself was in outstanding condition and showed no signs of leakage or soaking. Dark ruby in appearance, the wine seemed a bit tight upon opening. I left the bottle open with a small glass poured out for a while before ultimately decanting. My notes were taken ninety minutes after the decant. The aromas were initially dominated by a funky earth and floral combination that gave way to reveal red fruits (notably cherry and cranberry) along with dry mushrooms, balsawood and maybe a hint of vanilla. When tasted, plenty of acid was immediately noticeable along with the same red fruits, ash, and a rusty iron-like element that lingered on the palate for some time. An excellent bottle of wine.
