Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, January 12, 2010 - Peter Weygandt tasting at Hinton's (Hinton's Wine Store): Dark ruby. This one is a bit tough to assess. I had two pours of it, from different bottles but within a half hour and they were VASTLY different. The first showed an odd nose of iron filings, volcanic rock, undertoned lanolin, but no fruit on the nose, but with dark cherry, roots, and pepper on the palate. It was good, but strange. On a second pour the wine was much more vibrant and open, more intense, and with a far more prominent tannic structure. Neither seemed in the realm of 98 pts, but I'm willing to say I was wrong in a few years if you pour it for me then. 90-95, shading the benefit of doubt officially to the second one.
