Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 24, 2012 - Once in Lifetime...: From magnum, decanted approximately 20 minutes prior to service, straw colour in the glass. Interesting nose of stone fruits, dried apricot, roasted hazelnuts, spice, and florals. On the palate, this is still fairly rich in texture, with moderate acidity, showing notes of dried fruits, mineral, roasted hazelnuts and dried flowers. The finish is a touch clipped, bitter, and showing some excessive heat. To me, even in magnum, this wine is tired. Perhaps this is a wine I don’t understand, but I have not tried one of these that have come out “on the other side” and been better than it was in it’s youth.
