Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - Seriously disappointing. This well-stored bottle had no real life and only vague varietal/terroir characteristics. Dominated by what one taster described as a "stalky" or vegetal quality, it tasted to me oddly like a tomato. It did not taste "old", just strange, as though possessed by an alien. We did not finish more than half the bottle.

After posting my note and reading the other reviews, it seems this wine is subject to pretty severe bottle variation. Mine wasn't very good, but clearly others had memorably positive experiences. Caveat emptor.
