Community Tasting Note

tak4 Likes this wine:

Saturday, December 15, 2018 - Opened, left 90 min, decanted, then left 20 min before tasting.

Cork was perfectly intact - tight, even. Wine is a deep crimson with a clear/brick rim.

Surprisingly youthful nose for a 27 year old wine. Cherry and red berry core. Overlaid with leather, touch of dried mushrooms, spices. Cedar bark. Black pepper. Anise.

On palate - wine is sound. Medium acid, low alcohol, softened tannins. Peppercorns, currant, blueberries really come out on the palate. Soft, with a long, clean finish. Goes a touch sideways at the end with a sort of bitter conclusion, but otherwise quite beautiful.

Mature movie star, still handsome.
