Community Tasting Note

• Ikesmith Does not like this wine: 87 points

  February 15, 2019 - Full, round nose of dark bramble, redwood sous bois, lightly smoked game. Mouth is nice, lush. And then the finish just falls off a cliff. Just, disappears almost completely except an imperceptibly slight stale malo (?) and maybe a hint of sulfur. Perhaps a poorly stored bottle? Never experienced similar. Bought three bottles, almost bought a few cases based on RP 95 points. Glad I didn't. Wife likes it so maybe its a flaw in my head :)
  Maybe a weird dumb phase? Will report back on bottles 2 and 3.
  If this bottle is an outlier then it might be a stellar deal...

  2/15/19, 5:55 PM - Edit: I must note I used a coravin and sampled over 3 separate tastings, each about 2 weeks apart, final taste PnP. Consistent profile, inc. flaw, throughout. Will just PnP whole bottle next time around but doubt coravin had an effect.
