Community Tasting Note

Friday, May 9, 2008 - I greatly enjoyed the 2005 but this bottle did not live up to expectations. Some simple red fruit on the nose but overshadowed by strong marmite odors. On the palate only a tiny amount of fruit, with some astringency and overall harsh bitterness. A fair amount of alcoholic heat too. Vacu-sealed overnight. On Day 2 the heat had dissipated and there was more mellow generic fruit but still none of the nuances of the '05. Potentially corked so I'll withhold a score until I try another bottle.
