Community Tasting Note

Saturday, May 14, 2022 - Unfortunately, this bottle has seen better days. The ullage is worse than it should have been for a 25-year old wine, top shoulder with a half saturated cork. Upon opening I was concerned by the nutty, sherry notes, but I let the bottle sit to air for several hours before serving. The color was decent, medium ruby with some bricking, but the wine is clearly oxidized. This was an auction purchase so I'm not sure if the poor showing is a reflection of how this bottle was treated, or just the fact that this may be well beyond its drinking window. In any case, not good.
