Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 30, 2013 - I remember going crazy about this wine when I first tasted it at a wine show, about 5 years ago. Then I drank it at home almost 4 years ago, and I liked it a lot without getting so excited as the first time. This was my third experience, and a rather disappointing one. I hope the wine is undergoing a muted phase, because otherwise there was no obvious defect here except the fact that it was almost totally shut down. After 2 hours in the decanter and continuous swirling in my "breathing" Eisch glass, it only started to reveal restrained aromas of mostly red cherry and berry fruit alongside some herbs and vanilla. On the palate it was quite elegant with firm tannins, but again the fruit was supressed and the aftertaste was medium. It paired nicely with my grilled steak due to its nice texture, but otherwise it had nothing to do with the wine as I remember it from my previous tastings. I will keep my other bottle for many years hoping that it will re-gain its once hedonistic character.
