Community Tasting Notes 2

  June 13, 2019 - This was really a delight.
  Single piece cork, no sign of seepage
  Nose has a persistent barnyard dominant profile, but closer to cheese than poo or sweat, and in a good way. There is a trace of fine wine burried under the top note of stink, despite its persistence.
  
  The palate is mature, and plush. Mostly on secondary and tertiary notes.
  Mushroom, forest floor, damp earth all that, with a strangely burgundian finish.
  
  Nice surprise, and significantly different to the previous bottle tasted a few months ago. Good stuff.
  
  Drink up, this is singing.

  March 28, 2019 - Crappy short cork that almost broke but was pulled whole.
  No seepage. Not decanted.
  Colour is a deep red, little is revealed about its age.
  Nose has deep pitched cherry and a bit of barnyard. Shows some secondary development.
  P: is evolved, lean and ferrous initially. With about 40 minutes of air, the wine blossomed into a more enjoyable and rounded profile. Age remains, but the weight it put on was sufficient to make it quite compelling. Certainly not a cast off wine.
  
  Drink up, fully mature now.
