Community Tasting Note

• Kathydrinks wrote: 90 points

  April 4, 2019 - I agree with the comment below. The wine was too young to be opened. Reading other 95+ reviews, I was very excited and had high hopes but it turned out to be very tannic and a bit too acidic (not very much but above average to my taste). I could definitely feel that it was a complex wine though the tannic was bothering too much for my tong to detect and enjoy other great notes. After 2 hours of decanting, it opened up a bit and tasted better, but it was not enough to hit a high score.
  I have 3 more bottles in my cellar, and I kind of want to open another one just to see if it’s the same or any different because reading other comments, people seem to enjoy it well already.

  Hi. Sporrrswoode wine are made for the long run. Don’t be hasty. I have over the years and it’s a suckers bet. Wait several years before your next bottle you. You will be thrilled.
  
  Avoid temptation.
