Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, November 27, 2013 - Second bottle of the night. First was oxidized, which seems to be a recurrent issue for this era of Chidaine wines. He learned that you can only lower sulfur levels so much before the wine suffers in the long term. With that in mind, it's likely that some of the tasting notes below reflect oxidized wines.

The wine has put on some weight, with a prominent wet stone finish. Fruit is predominated by pineapple, with a bit of citrus. It took about two hours of air before this started to show better. This wine was beautiful and vigorous in its youth. It's drinking reasonably but hasn't aged particularly gracefully.
