Community Tasting Note

pwm Likes this wine:

Saturday, July 6, 2013 - Opened the 18 liter bottle for my 70th birthday. This arrived nine months ago with the cork pushed, as in the label picture. I had been sweating it ever since (although on discovery I had wrapped the neck tightly in a thick plastic bag and many rubber bands). We opened it, and discovered that only about 5 mm of the cork was engaged with the neck of the bottle. It tasted no different than the many 750ml bottles of the 2004 that I have enjoyed over the past few years. Apparently a very small amount of air can be tolerated by a bottle of this size. (Bye-the-bye, we finished it - plus 38 other bottles of various wines at the party.)
