Community Tasting Note

Sunday, May 29, 2016 - YIKES! Not what I expected, and not like any other Booker wine I've had. Tannic and harsh. I've got to find something else for tonight, and think about what might pair better with this. This may have become an expensive cooking wine.

TWO DAYS LATER: I pulled this back out of the fridge and tried again. I paired with with lamb and what do you know: it wasn't too bad. I guess it took a strong gamy meat to match the tannins. I think with a long decant and a good pairing this is acceptable. This reminds me of a big tennat.
