Community Tasting Note

colinscellar Likes this wine:

Saturday, October 16, 2021 - Similar to Praxis' comment, there was initially something unpleasant and reminiscent of TCA despite the screwcap, I guess a different bacteria? But after ignoring the wine for ~4hrs whatever had been wrong had blown off (not decanted per se, but bottle left open with a glass poured to make room for air).

Fruit receding but still some ripe blackberry and slightly stewed plum, though the dominant character for me was a rich chocolate/mocha with some sweet oak vanilla behind it. Powdery tannins and acidity holding everything together.

So initially disappointing but actually very good after the long wait.
