Community Tasting Note

OenophilistMN Likes this wine:

Monday, November 27, 2017 - From Art's cellar. Having drank all the Simi Reserves, I am drinking the non-reserve cabs. This was not a great wine, well-past its prime. Wine was still clear, 45-minute (or so) decant. During decant and later in the glass, the nose was sour choke cherries and burnt pits with a hint of anisette. Wine was clear, some sediment, dark bowl radiating to amber on the rim. The nose was a good harbinger of the wine's flavor. On the palate, same sour cherry flavor predominated, with some burnt fruit and bad licorice at the end. A little better with food, but just barely hanging on. In another year, it will be even worse and totally gone.
