Community Tasting Note

Thursday, November 6, 2014 - Slate and apple on the nose. Tight ripe acidity on the palatte - lemon. Medium long but slightly unpleasant finish of sour apple / lemon. A sense of puckering. Sadly it's not bottle variation as I've got a few of these in the cellar. Is this unbalanced acidity? I'm inexperienced and not positive, but I think so. Lacks minerality on the palatte. Not enough fruit to balance the acidity.

How long has it been since you last had one and had it not evolved in any way? Could it be in its "dormant" phase now? That would actually make some sense after about 5 years in bottle.
