Community Tasting Note

  April 23, 2016 - The biggest disappointment of the night. Oddly enough, of all the Bordeaux it had the best, most expressive nose but had a horrible metallic taste on the palate and finish. Some descriptors from the table were; hard water, river water, copper, iron and my personal favorite, “It’s like licking corroded steel pipe.” Don’t know what went wrong as I’ve never run across such a strong metallic taste in a wine, especially one that smelt so good, which prompted my wife to quip, “This bottle has obviously had a nose job”. I left it open all night and tried a sip again the next morning, still bad. I’d venture to say that 80%-85% of this bottle got poured down the sink.
