Community Tasting Note

Vinnut Likes this wine:

Sunday, July 30, 2023 - Medium reddish garnet in color with an amber tint & distinct clearing at the edges. Full, forward & fragrant nose of well-aged, ripe fruit aromas of cherries, berries, & cassis with overtones of classic cigar box notes of cedar & tobacco, floral notes, earthy/dusty/loam, leather, herbs, mushrooms & a bit of oxidation in the background. Medium-full bodied with a good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, well-aged, ripe fruit flavors of sour cherries, berries & cranberries with earthy/dusty, herbs & minerals. Lingering dry finish. Well past its prime but question if it was due to the storage condition of this specific bottle. Still, it was interesting to sample this older wine. Ullage was at upper shoulder; cork was fully stained & crumbled upon opening.
