Community Tasting Note

  January 29, 2021 - What a difference 14 months make. This wine, although extremely promising upon initial opening with fleshy evolving berry fruit on the nose was a shell of a wine one hour plus after decant. It’s nose faded to muted black fruits and dusty pepper. On the palate it was out of balance, clunky really. There was tannin and acid but no countering depth of fruit, a lack of any savoury notes and insipid alcohol. A short finish. Very poor QPR. This wasn’t a storage issue. The wine just fails to age.

  Bounce back & open something special, right? Hope you are doing well. 😀
