Community Tasting Note

Monday, June 21, 2010 - I think this wine, on the bottle I had, is on the decline. Fill was high shoulder so perhaps better bottles around but given this showing I wouldn't be paying the kind of money some people are prepared to pay. Very muddy/earthy on the nose with a touch of oak still noticeable. Quite drying on the palate with a subtle hint of fruit flavour which is mostly swallowed up by tannin. Nostalgia is driving prices here.
