Community Tasting Notes 28

  June 1, 2022 - 100% Tempranillo. Aged for 18 months in American oak barrels. 13% alcohol.
  
  Deep, aged black cherry color with a tertiary, syrupy-brown hue. The nose feels dusty, aged and somewhat tired with rather tertiary aromas of beef jerky, some wizened dark fruits, a little bit of smoke and a hint of earth. Quite little of anything here. The wine feels aged, somewhat oxidative and rather tired on the palate with a medium-to-moderately full body and savory flavors of tangy rancio, some salt-cured beef notes, a little bit of sweet raisiny fruit, light earthy notes, a tertiary hint of wizened red plums and a touch of meat stew. The wine is quite high in acidity with rather resolved, gently grippy tannins. The finish is savory, subtly grippy and moderately acid-driven with quite oxidative flavors of soy sauce, some beef jerky, a little bit of crunchy cranberry, light sweet notes of raisiny fruit and a hint of earth.
  
  The wine is starting to be quite tired and flat, getting borderline dead. Oxidation has already set in, obliterating most of the nuance from the flavors, leaving behind only notes of soy sauce, meat stew, raisins and earth. There's very little enjoyment left here.

  November 23, 2019 - Tegelröd, klart mogen
  
  Väldigt mogen med burktomater, plåtburk, björnbär
  
  Fortfarande en viss tanninstruktur, frukten börjar bli lite platt.
  
  Något over the top!

  August 25, 2017 - The Cork disintergrated. Slightly oxidated smell of sherry. This wine is way beyond its best days. Tons of sediment, brownish colour. Barely any tannins left. Should have drunken it years ago.

  June 25, 2016 - thought this would be toast, but showed sun dried fruit, savory notes with a bit of structure remaining.
