Community Tasting Notes 6

  November 6, 2022 - A (Burgundy Grand Cru) Birthday Celebration (House of Nanda - Chicago IL): Decanted for many hours before tasted. Classic, old school style. Tar, licorice, dried floral notes, and yes, far too much tannin, so not quite perfectly harmonious.

  November 6, 2020 - Decanted for ~2 hours. This has an alluring smoky dried fruit nose. The palate has abundant sweet, still fresh fruit that has delicious spice, licorice and toasted herbs. A remaining bit of chewy structure on the finish. Held on strong for several hours. Awesome.

  February 1, 2020 - Q1 Wine Club - Aged Barbaresco (The Apt): Wine #2: Picked out by a friend when we were traveling in Piedmont. We'd had the bottles sent to us and opened and decanted for prob 3 hours before the first sip. Here again you get the age and it is much more secondary/tertiary. When I strained I could also get a background of cranberry and a touch of spice. Not a bad wine although some felt it was too over the hill and/or potentially corked. I didn't get that, but I did get that it was drinking older than some of the wines around it. (5 pennies)

  February 1, 2020 - Horribly corked - just reeked of wet cardboard.

  February 10, 2015 - Murstensfarget med mørk kjerne og lys kant. Parfymert og med mørke dufter - tjære, lakris, trevirke, bjørnebær. Utvikler seg fort i glasset, og interessante dufter som apoteklakris og sort te dukker opp, og etter et par timer til finner vi smørbukk og toffee. Interessant. Her er også sherrytoner, og vinen er på hell - på smak er den saftig og smaksrik, men med begrenset fruktighet, og syren dominerer. Lett metallisk/ medisinal ettersmak.
