Community Tasting Note

OenophilistMN Likes this wine:

Monday, January 6, 2020 - One-hour decant through a screened funnel as cork disintegrated while being pulled. During decant, nose was a little sour and off-putting. Wine was clear, deep crimson in bowl and lightening towards the rim, but no amber. It did have a slight halo. After resting in the decanter, nose had calmed down: black currants, lead pencil and saddle leather. In the mouth, wine was classic Bordeaux: subdued red fruits and cedar. It had reasonable depth, was fairly smooth, but some tannins were still hanging on. Finish was a bit short with a hint of bitter baking chocolate. Nice food wine, but nothing stupendous.
