Community Tasting Note

• sunnylea57 Does not like this wine: 82 points

  May 1, 2018 - The second bottle I’ve opened and this one was extremely advanced. Heavy prune on the nose, dried fruit and leather on the palate and lingering celery on the finish. Good acidity helped to make this somewhat drinkable, but it wasn’t enjoyable. Poured blind for some knowledgeable folks who thought it might be a late 70s or 1980s Bordeaux blend.

  Cheers and best holiday wishes,
