Community Tasting Note

STLMIKE Likes this wine:

Monday, December 8, 2014 - I took a flier on a few bottles of this at auction. Given the age and lack of tasting note history on this one, I was just hoping that it had enough life left to be an enjoyable weekday drinker. Opened into a decanter - considerable sediment. The wine had a cloudy bright brick red appearance making me slightly concerned I'd missed the boat. Upon inspection the nose was nice and earthy. Tannins had integrated very well. Lovely notes of sour cherry, fresh mushrooms, and a very nice balance. This was really a pleasant surprise and glad I have a couple more bottles of this. I'd guess this is about as good as its going to get and I don't see this developing further so will look to drink the rest in the next year. Will look to try some of the other vintages in the future.
