Community Tasting Note

  • BBencz Likes this wine: 91 points

    August 1, 2016 - Cork totally soaked through and covered in mold at top. One hour decant, but took about two hours to start to make sense. Nose of baked apple, raw pie crust and a bit of petrol. Lemon curd, hazelnut, flinty minerals and a dry sherry finish. Not for the faint of heart, and certainly better with food.
