Community Tasting Note

Saturday, February 28, 2009 - Right from the get-go, this bottle is badly corked. Still, we decided to try the Saran Wrap treatment on it, and once again (at least for me), it worked pretty darned well. Naturally, the bouquet is now a bit muted, but there are fresh mint leaf, dark cassis, bell pepper and leather notes clearly popping through. It continues to show a lot of mint leaf in the mouth, along with a jumble of blackberry, dark cherry, black beans, sweet creosote, chocolate powder and cedar. The texture suffers a bit—showing somewhat tough and leathery. The finish displays some volcanic rock and dark earth overtones and ends a bit dry and coarse. Ed never could get past the corked elements, but the rest of us were able to enjoy it at least somewhat.
