Community Tasting Note

• 2020 Does not like this wine:

  August 18, 2019 - As previously noted in other reviews, the color on this is quite advanced. It was definitely very golden.
  
  Regarding flavor, there was absolutely no fruit left. If you swirled the glass, there were aromas. As soon as it stopped swirling, you only had the smell of alcohol. Odd, and not enjoyable.
  
  Maybe my fault for waiting too long, but I had one on the 4th of July and it was excellent. Both were well stored, kept in a cellar. I couldn’t finish the second half of the bottle and dumped it. Ouch.

  1/8/20, 3:48 PM - I did not consider that. It did not have a musty/odd smell to it so I didn't think of that. Bad to experience, but good to learn. Thanks for the note.
