Community Tasting Note

Saturday, October 29, 2011 - HDH auction tasting at Tru (Chicago, IL): From a magnum. Very animalistic nose with some jammy fruit and a big whiff of alcohol; it would be understandable to mistake this for a vintage port from the alcoholic and jammy notes. Just immensely alcoholic and jammy again on the palate, and while there are some barnyard notes that are quite interesting, this is simply just way too big, fruity, and alcoholic for me. Some cocoa notes, but there are some unpleasant chemical flavours on the palate as well. Tastes like a 14-14.5%. Not to my liking; this is simply a wine that I can't understand, and would derive no pleasure in drinking.
