Community Tasting Note

Sunday, November 6, 2022 - Unfortunately past it’s prime. Left standing for around one day before opening. Cork in surprisingly good condition.

While pouring into decanter it filled the room with an intense aroma of leather. Translucent orange even towards the final drops. High amount of sediment left in the bottle (unfortunately more waste than I’d like, perhaps one day standing was not enough?).

Intense leather and oak on the nose, earthiness and slight fruit. On the pallete antique wooden furniture, pencil shavings, unfortunately lacks the punch of the jammy fruit and so leaves the wine quite unbalanced in that regard. Almost watery texture.

This bottle taught me a lot about the aging process, the effects of lowering tannins in such a wine and the rapid development during decanting with an older vintage.
