Community Tasting Note

gzim Does not like this wine:

Saturday, July 27, 2013 - Not sure what to make of this. Reading the other TN's seems like I had an entirely different wine. Maybe this bottle was flawed, as it was all about mineral, graphite, a bit of wood, but very little fruit. There was a sour spine to it which had something almost mechanical to it (for lack of a better descriptor), like cleaning fluid. Was this a bad bottle or just way too young? it sure wasn't a good showing. Cork was fine, I double decanted, about 2 hours before serving, temp. was good.
Nothing like the 2010 Carlisle Bedrock Zin I served 2 nights earlier which had plenty of black fruit with lots going on.
