Community Tasting Note

Friday, December 18, 2015 - Chameleon wine! I can reconcile - if not explain - the two most recent TNs below...

On opening, a brief raised element of funky floral, then a brown perfume: game, raisin, wet earth, a trace of old red raspberry, caramel and plastercine. It flies across palate: finessed / weightless. Decent spread. Lacks angles: low-tannin and near end of life? Therefore didn't decant, cooled further, and drank 2 hrs later. Led by red cherry skin! Flicker of farmyard. Strong and dry. Almost entirely different! A tad of nice sour edge too. Doesn't extend much... but that might be the now-evident tannin. Maybe it could evolve for quite a while from here; open out structurally and break up aromatically. 89-91 at moment; potential for more. 89 now?
