Community Tasting Note

Friday, December 29, 2023 - Decanted for an hour and then back into the bottle to drink at a restaurant. Lots of sediment. First thought is it's a bit lifeless. There's a lot of alcohol on the nose and palate. My wife commented that the alcohol smell is "burning". Blackberry on the nose. Very tannic on the palate. Decent pairing with cajun chicken and a better pairing with duck. It actually tasted the best at the end of the meal with with meringue dessert. Not sure if it was the pairing or the additional air. For most of the night I was scoring it at 87 but at the end of the night I settled on 88. We left a third of the bottle at the restaurant since it wasn't really impressing us. I would say this is a really bad QPR for an average/boring wine. Brad - heavypourwine.com
