Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, June 7, 2016 - Possibly this bottle was slightly cooked. The cork had a long streak on it suggesting exposure to heat. On opening, astringent and compressed with a bit of bitter charcoal. I considered giving up on it but it seemed to improve slightly in the glass so I decanted. Kept improving very slowly. After three hours returned half the wine to the bottle and vacuumed. The next day much less astringent but still the bitter streak. Quite drinkable though. (UPDATE) definitely a flawed bottle. Second bottle didn't have the bitter streak and had much more fruit.
