Community Tasting Notes 1

sterben Does not like this wine:
December 17, 2021 - Got two patache d'Aux as "bonuses" when buying a grand puy ducasse 82. from the 81 vintage that started out great (maybe a cold July, but hot August/september) but was offset by heavy rain at harvest time. Diluted fruit, low alcohol levels and many producers had to chapitalize.
This bottle had a lower fill level than the other bottle, being just at the bottom of the neck. Cork with expected mold, but of good quality. Came out in one piece (well) using a cork screw+ah so opener
Beautiful brownish red color. Nose with nail polish, forest floor, "damp basement". At one time there seemed to be a flash of some green pepper and cherry. Thin. Only tertiary notes, drinkable, not enjoyable (except maybe that fleeting moment)
