Community Tasting Note

wculpepper Likes this wine:

Monday, January 4, 2016 - Cork stained 3/4". Decanted for two hours; no sediment. Deep ruby color. Funky nose. After four hours, the funk was gone and replaced by plums, raisins and vanillas. Medium bodied, slightly sweet cherries and plums on the palate, well balanced by lively acids and soft tannins. The tannins and some heat dominate on a lengthy finish. This is the first of five bottles I bought at auction last year. Since other CT tasting notes are more favorable, I wonder if this wine had been poorly stored in the past. It's still OK, but I am an Amarone fan, and this bottle was short of my expectations.
