Community Tasting Notes 22

  December 14, 2023 - Give this one an hour plus decant. On open, nose is a mix of plum, leather, mushroom, funk. Mousey. Palate was pretty sour on opening but balances out with some air. Somewhat muted with a short finish. Won't improve with any more time to my taste - drink up if you're still holding.
  
  Much of the mouse blows off after an hour, revealing a nice little mature Bordeaux.

  April 11, 2021 - Similar to cuvee no. 1, few aromatic elements, more prominent fruit, not quite as good.

  April 30, 2018 - I opened this with zero expectations based on prior reviews. So low I paired it with a turkey meatloaf sandwich with Branston Pickle. I expected it to be undrinkable
  
  But after some initial funk blew off a delicious wine presented itself. Not a 90 for sure. You could quibble that my 88 is generous but if you have any left don’t let the early reviews scare you away.
