Community Tasting Notes 3

  April 14, 2017 - Well stored but just tired. Brick red. Definite aged characteristics on the nose with soft berries and red cherries. Low tannins (4/10) and low plus bodied. Dry and short finish. Most of the fruit is gone on the palate but there is some soft red berries, damp earth and a touch of greenery. Drink up if you have it, definitely past its time.

  January 28, 2012 - Blind home wine tasting with MOT Scoring sheet (VA, USA): I never would have guessed this as a shiraz. I had it as an old Bordeaux blend that was thinning. It was pleasant and I enjoyed it but different. Light smoke and dust on the nose. A hint of orange in the dust. Smooth and soft towards thinning so drink up now.
