Community Tasting Note

• Ewhite30 Does not like this wine:

  May 22, 2015 - Unfortunately there wasn't much going on here. The others that were released at the same time were very good but there was nothing "wrong" about the wine so I'm not sure what to make of it. Dumb phase? Over the hill? Tried upon opening and it was flat, seemed reasonable since it had been in the cellar for the last couple of years.... but after several hours of air time it was still lifeless - little fruit which just muddled along through the mid-palate before ending fairly generically. As a whole I've really enjoyed these wines, in fact I'm looking forward to the new release this coming weekend, but this was just a bummer.
