Community Tasting Note

Sunday, January 22, 2017 - Amazingly youthful. Brief notes of attic dust dissapate after 15 mins. Packed with ripe strawberry. Predictable mature notes of iron. Resembles a 15 year old sangiovese. Acid streak. Great with food. 1+ hour decant advised.

I began with three bottles and this one is the last. My previous tastings of this wine were all excellent. Lighter due to maturity and consistent with your notes. How was the cork? I may have to use the two-prong extractor. Conn Creek was once a cult wine. Still making wine but probably a completely different house now. Don’t know for sure though. Thanks.
