Community Tasting Note

• Champagneinhand Likes this wine:

  October 18, 2018 - So this came from Winebid but was leaking all over. Fortunately WB refunded my purchase. I thought I would bring the half that was left to dinner. The cork was unretrievable but it just fell into the oxidizing juice. We tasted it and while clearly flawed do to the cork issue and leakage it was great to taste that the sweetness of a BA was mellowed and that the acids were still present. Sadly the fruit wasn’t very identifiable but present. I’m sure a bottle that was just pulled from a cellar would have been quite enjoyable considering it’s 49 years old.
  
  Most who tried this were impressed by the fact that an aged German from a great vintage could really hold out this long. It was educational, but bittersweet as I would have loved to have enjoyed this in better circumstances.
  
  I will look for more from that 1969 vintage.
