Community Tasting Note

Sunday, February 10, 2019 - I liked and rated very good bottles opened in 2013 and 2017 but this one was disappointingly closed aromatically. The nose was very low key though some right scents of leafy red fruit, cedar and leather were faintly perceptible. On the medium+ bodied palate, however, there were almost no aromatics though there was decent depth, suave texture and fresh acidity. Perhaps because of aromatic absence, the typical 1995 dry tannins were quite evident on the finish. If this bottle were 10 years old, I would say wait because there are no signs of coming decay, but in its 24th year are we looking at irreversible fading, a new dumb phase or bottle variation? I have two bottles left and fear the first but will hold back on further consumption in the hope of the second. Just about good.
