Community Tasting Note

jrtaylor Likes this wine:

Saturday, April 1, 2023 - Took notes from previous tastings and decided to do a 2hr decant. Bottle was purchased off an auction and was recorked in 2006 at a penfolds clinic.

TN: Immediately after opening I was getting mostly tertiary flavors and notes. 45 min in lots of tart bing cherry and leather. 1.5 hours the cherry was starting to smooth out, little tobacco notes. 2 hours the wine started to hum, the tart fruits were gone and really opened up great. The wine had a short finish which almost makes me think that it might be a year past peak, but overall I was amazed how how this wine really evolved over 4 hours. Still couldn’t believe the wine was 40 yrs old.
