Community Tasting Note

WineBurrowingWombat Likes this wine:

Sunday, December 26, 2021 - Served at a friend's family dinner, no formal notes.

Aromas of wet earth from a forest floor with dark, overripe strawberries and plums. It reminded me something like a fruit liqueur where there was a concentrated sweetness but it was a dull sweetness. There was also some damp oak, faded graphite and weathered stones.

Flavors of similar aged plums, already well integrated oak, dulled pencil lead and a smooth mineral finish. There is noticeable heat that picks up mid-palate.

This wine was thin on flavor and body, almost tastes and feels watered down.. sure, I picked out some flavors but there was nothing exciting about it. I wouldn't think a wine with 8 years of bottle age would already taste like it is past its peak. I was shocked and disappointed to hear the price tag on this, and seeing Dr. Crane on the bottle didn't help neither. Could be an off bottle though..
