Community Tasting Note

• tob100 wrote: 91 points

  July 23, 2022 - Decanted an tasted over three hours.
  Cork was wet an seepage was on the bottle.
  Bought on a auction with other wines, this one was in the badest condition.
  
  The nose
  Not much to give in, a little sweet Apple, oak, pineapple. The nose has faded alot
  
  The palate:
  Orange, pineapple, lemon, kind of like multi juice. Roasted or almost burnt almonds.
  Very high alcohol with sharp acidity.
  
  It got better with a decant - more to smell and softer to drink.
  You could taste that it had a certain age but no way 46 years, more like 20-25 years. I was afraid to keep it for too long, because of the cork issues. It also did had a little wet carpet to smell, but faded out, during the decanting.
  
  I'm 91 Points on this - If the wine didn't have cork issues, it could last for some years extra. Maybe another 10-15 years. I know for sure that my Chateau Coutet 76' would do, because of the way better condition.
