Community Tasting Notes 3

  January 21, 2024 - {screwcap} Well on the downslope now, this has a distinctly volatile aspect to the fading but nicely ripened fruit. Little oak left, no real tannin, trembling acidity. Feels like a lighter-bodied effort/vintage that was always a short-termer. No decant – just poured from minimal sediment.

  August 28, 2019 - Nose and palate show big, but faded, flavours of black fruit, sawdust, and wet leather. Strong acidity gives the palate structure and balance, but the tannin is a little too faded. Feels like it could have been great at one point, when the tannin was a little stronger. Improves with time in the glass: the aged flavours seem more interesting and the wines flaws are becoming easier to overlook. Wish I had more of this one.

  September 7, 2017 - Much easier to get through this bottle compared to earlier vintages. There's cassis, stewed dark fruits, a lick of spice. Chalky tannins. Still a bit too much acid noticeable on the finish, which compromises a nice balance of dark berries and spice. It's certainly OK, but there's better out there. Given how the 2005 and 2003 look today, I wouldn't keep this any longer - drink now.
