Community Tasting Note

dagij Likes this wine:

Sunday, November 5, 2023 - I've tasted this wine over quite some years, and this is not representative. The color is still quite dark, although there are amber tones all the way through to the core. The nose is muted at first, but then gives way to some dried flowers, warm earth, some dried fruit, and a woody tone. It is the mouth that worries me the most: quite full bodied and drying on the first attack, a dryness that keeps on expanding into the finish. Fine notes of dried cherries and raspberries on the mid palate, but the aftertaste is quite heavy and dry. I know that 05 was a full bodied vintage, but this is just too much. It also starts to loose some fruit. A good wine, but still disappointing. An off bottle?
