Community Tasting Notes 2

  February 7, 2015 - Q1 Tasting - Spanish wines (The Apartment): Wine #13: This was the same as Wine #5 although I'd never have guessed that and didn't realize it until we did the unveiling. This wine was opened and decanted. Interesting because it had very strong tannins, much stronger oak flavors than some of the other wines. I believed it needed more time to come together. Surprised it was an '04 since it was drinking younger than some of the 2011's (although to be fair they had longer decants). Would be interested to revisit with some time.

  February 7, 2015 - Q1 Tasting - Spanish wines (The Apartment): Wine #5: This wine appeared twice in our tasting and as we handled it differently I am writing two tasting notes. This wine was not decanted. It was clear there was a bit more age on this than some of the early wines. My initial smell/taste was kindof an old shoe which faded with a bit of swirling. Then I get more of the cough syrup flavor that I associate with Tuscan wines. Drinking this I thought it could really have used a decant.
