Community Tasting Note

flawed

Monday, July 5, 2021 - This bottle left me flat. Very inward, with the fruit barely evident, leaving a rustic, spice-driven wine that didn't inspire. I have more so will need to try after a significant decant next time. [update: in hindsight, this bottle must have suffered from mild cork taint, which (as was gently pointed out to me) makes much more sense, so I am revising this to "flawed rather than scoring unfairly; cf. my subsequent TN dated 7/13/2021]

    7/9/2021 10:32:00 AM - JonnyG, sounds you like you might have had a slightly corked bottle ( sometimes hard to detect, but flattens the nose and palate). That wine should currently show quite well in your glass. Please email me and we’ll get a replacement out to you to check the difference. dj@keplingerwines.com
