Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, February 24, 2016 - Vertical blind tasting of 02-05, my third place wine.
Double decanted and then tasted 3 hours later. Very surprising result to say the least. This had a rather closed, muted nose. There are some stems on the nose that show a little green, you could easily think this was the 04 (if not for the overt greenie-meanies showing on the 04.) The palate was very dry and astringent, with a metallic taste that was hard to pin down. I think the stems are dominating this wine and not letting the beautiful 05 vintage shine through, I hope that time cures this, but tonight it was not very impressive.
