Community Tasting Note

Friday, June 2, 2017 - Pnp at home. Top shoulder fill. Was expecting the worst as the cork showed clear signs of relatively recent leakage. A clean nose upon pulling the cork and a surprisingly dark, clear garnet color in the glass with only minimal bricking at the transparent rim indicated that the wine was perfectly fine. While not the most expressive, the nose is showing good depth and fine balance. Less convincing the palate which is lean and somewhat astringent, with dark fruit, some bell peppers and a touch of leather. Short to medium finish. Nice enough but certainly not something to seek out if 1981 has no special meaning to you. Nose 90, palate 87
