Community Tasting Note

Monday, June 16, 2014 - Hmm, this is markedly different from the previous bottle just over two years ago. Very spritzy, blind I'd take this as a sparkling Shiraz etc. A few Fourrier shakes and a double decant later this is merely petillant. Eventually calms down to show quite dark fruit and a tannic edge. Almost a little bitter. I wonder if this is quite right. May just be closing down, certainly less vibrant than previously. I'll come back tomorrow, but hopefully this is just a slightly off bottle, or maybe just going through a phase. Certainly not much fun. **. After 24hrs, unstoppered and out of the fridge this is a lot better. Quite plush and rich fruit, a fair dose of vanilla it does seem to have closed up cf a couple of years ago. ***/88
