Community Tasting Notes 10

    November 18, 2023 - Maybe the worst wine we have ever had. Started with heavy licorice (Jagermeister?) and evolved into soy sauce by the third night. Pair with Chinese noodles - actually pour in the noodles!

    December 2, 2021 - Trying really hard to make sense of this wine.

    Pours like brown motor oil with bricked edges. Seems to me like it has aged in a lopsided manner... the fruit has faded leaving behind an empty husk of sandpaper tannins, cartoon vanilla oak and alcohol heat. I thought it was basically undrinkable but never got around to pouring it down the drain.

    So a couple of weeks later, I decide to try it to see how it's changed and it's changed for better and become semi-drinkable... tannins are softer, alcohol isn't as hot, the vanilla isn't as garish, but the fruit tastes like this is a 40 year old, semi-oxidized wine.

    I hate this spot... it's not enjoyable, but it's now not horrible enough to just pour out. Oh well.

    I imagine this was way better when it was released.

    In any case, 15.5% is ridiculous for this wine.

    October 14, 2018 - Definitely decant for at least an hour. The chocolate and vanilla will settle down and the fruit will come out.

    August 25, 2018 - Heavy vanilla front. Needs to be decanted. Needs a ton of air. Prior WTSO comments accurate. No idea who rated it 99. Got better over time

    July 24, 2018 - This opened with vanilla notes and rather harsh tannins masking fruit. After decanting and giving it a triple "MollyDooker shake" (see MollyDooker web site) it was greatly improved, becoming quite pleasant.
