Community Tasting Note

The wine was not decanted. Intitially from the bottle there was a note on the nose and palate which was bit musty but this quickly blew off. From the first glass I detected clear notes of pencil shavings on the nose and leather on the palate. From the second glass I detected a spice note (including cinnamon) and I was reminded of a Bourgogne wine but also reminded me of the spices from generic Indian food. I was certain that I detected notes of saffron notes with a hint of vanilla. Overall, I thought that the depth of spice and character that the wine showed this evening was indicative of a longer life span (perhaps not eternal but at least a few more years).
