Community Tasting Notes 24

  April 11, 2018 - Getting past it's prime. Pop and pour was off - tasting a little of vinegar. After having been left on the shelf for an hour or so, the wine integrated nicely. Though nothing on the nose and without much in the way of fruit, it opened up to an interesting complexity; mineral, floral, faint non-discernable fruit. A definite improvement in hour two and three over PnP.
  That said, a day on the shelf with just over a half bottle left did not do this wine any favor, the second day tasting was frankly flat and lifeless, even a little sweet and flabby. Not all together unpleasant, but not at all improved, and maybe even degraded (working with food pairing to improve the experience.)
  Based on this I am suggesting this wine is past and I am sorry I held this in the cellar for so long. I have one bottle left that I will open sooner rather than later and will approach the 2009 set I hold within the year.

  February 28, 2015 - Still full of rich fruit and cola notes, and the alcohol still isn't beating you over the head. Sorry it was my last bottle.

  February 17, 2013 - - Ruby color with slow forming legs and aromas of blackberry and black currant. It's balanced and has flavours of blackberry, black currant, raspberry and black pepper with a medium body. Polished texture with a medium finish - Awesome wine. Still one of my favorite Paso wines.

  March 3, 2012 - Dark cherry, plum on the nose. Dark inky color. Full body, smooth tannins, balanced. Absolutely a delight!
