Community Tasting Note

    December 11, 2021 - Sometimes curiosity gets the better of me. I like trying older wines from unheralded producers and/or vintages or ones that are simply long past their expected consumption window. Occasionally I just get lucky and discover a rare gem from a bottle that has absolutely no business whatsoever still delivering pleasure. This was one such bottle and, while it didn't set the world on fire, it was still hanging on for dear life and provided a fascinating nose and mouthful of tertiary notes, albeit with a slight sour/metallic finish. This 100% Cabernet poured cloudy despite standing upright for 2 days and the nose took on a more pruney tone after a few hours. Fun.
