Community Tasting Note

Pmhenkels Likes this wine:

Friday, September 19, 2014 - Fill 1 cm below cork, cork broke in half but able to remove remainder (w touch of saturation) in single part. 92 at its height, descended to an 88 or so. After 15 mins opened up with some mocha, red fruits, a bit of creaminess and fat that extends through the palate in both taste and texture. Incredibly refined. At hour 2 began to descend slightly. Still enjoyable but the creaminess/mocha (shorthand for some chocolate and coffee flavors) rescinded and there was sour cherry and some stank I would associate w older Chiantis ( based on experience, not necc universal) began to appear. Wish I could describe. Not burnt rubber, much sharper. A spike of tar not right either. In the end, very worth a try for novelty under $80, but would drink between hour 0:10 to 1:30. Bottle variation is real, however opening in next year or two I think you will find a good window with anything stored appropriately
