Community Tasting Notes 10

• Neurowine1 Does not like this wine:

  December 20, 2020 - Cork fractured. Not a good show for this one, my final btl. At first I thought it was corky, but that blew off (mostly). The wine itself tastes tired and just sort of dirty. It is drinkable, but gives little pleasure-. Not sure what happened to this one. On the fence after a glass about whether to dump..

  October 30, 2020 - Similar to last note. Just too tart for my taste. Has not changed much in 14 years. I had hoped it would have softened some by now.

  February 21, 2020 - Over 3 years since I checked in with this. Better for sure. It has evolved and become more supple and less fruit forward. Whereas the EtOH was prominent before, it now seems very well integrated. The cocoa notes are real highlights tonight. Bravo.

  October 10, 2019 - Ok drinker with food. But too acidic and sour for my palate on its own.

  October 28, 2016 - Rather generic not tasting from anywhere in particular, but mostly Californian I guess. Fruit forward, polished, over oaked, but does have some nice black pepper on the back end. There is some bitter chocolate on the finish which is nice, but then the burn from too much EtOH comes in. Not my style, but I knew it wouldn't be.
