Community Tasting Note

Saturday, February 7, 2015 - I was really looking forward to this for two reasons. One, it was a gift from a friend who doesn't know much about wine, and he put a lot of thought and effort into the purchase. Two, it was an opportunity to revisit the annus horribilis (note: this has nothing to do with hemorrhoids) that was 2003, a hellfire vintage of profoundly overcooked wines all over Europe.

Anyway, I opened it last night, and alas, it was corked. Top notes were all of musty cardboard and burnt match. The wine was almost drinkable and no where near as bad as the nose, but well beyond any state in which a valid assessment could be made. I guess you could say I was Grossed out.
