Community Tasting Note

indybob Likes this wine:

Monday, February 11, 2019 - Had this 50-year birthyear wine last evening with another half-century friend over lasagne and cheeses. It's still alive, but has seen better days. Still a tasty drink, and fun to reminisce over.

Cork wet all the way though, no seepage around foil. Cork crumbled and broke in half, even with careful removal. Garnet colored, very nice nose of caramel and a bit of fruit.

Flavors of raisin, vanilla, and caramel with nice plum-like acidity, tannins completely resolved. Threw very little sediment. I suspect it was really humming about 10-15 years ago. Have one more bottle I'll open sometime later this year.
