Community Tasting Note

  February 21, 2015 - For its age, the wine still has plenty of stuffing, with ample fruit and lingering tannins. Really highlights the pedigree of the excellent 1989 vintage. What bothered me was the nose, which had a "roasted" quality that i didn't like. This wasn't brett, more like toasty plastic?, and was still around after lots of air. Makes me worried about the 2009 which i tried recently, which had a similar roasted quality to the nose - in a young wine it doesn't bother me much but with the 1989, the mix with the tertiary notes was a bit less appealing. Haven't had much experience with Gloria, would like to hear what others think!
