Community Tasting Notes 4

August 6, 2018 - Definite brown hue, and bit of oxidation on the nose. Fruit is somewhat dry, but lively acidity holds it together into a decent drink. Still some dry tannins here which have clearly outlived the fruit, but these melted beautifully into some sharp cheese and spicy Italian sausage. Though this wine is clearly well past its best, it is still an interesting and tasty wine, displaying respectable depth and complexity.

June 7, 2007 - Funky, leathery nose. Great acidity, and lovely fruit. A little brett. Showing very well, although I'm not sure about the price. 89+
