Community Tasting Note

wrote:

Sunday, January 30, 2011 - (0/5) This bottle appeared to be in good condition - mid-shoulder fill and the cork came out cleanly in one piece (and looked good). Tasted upon opening - vinegar! Slow-oxed for about 5 hours, tasting every hour. Improved with each taste but was clearly over the hill. Musty - might have been a little corky as well. At five hours I poured. Color and nose were reminiscent of a tawny Port. On the palate the fruit and tannins were gone, leaving not much behind other than some tangy acidity and alcohol. This bottle was way past its prime.
