Community Tasting Note

Saturday, September 18, 2021 - Popped and poured this, my last of five bottles. I've had fantastic bottles, and bottles that were merely good. Unfortunately, this falls in the latter category. Very dark garnet, and coats the glass. Somewhat simple bouquet of roasted coffee, butternut and earth. Somewhat dirty, bitter, black fruit flavors. I was hoping for so much more, as this is the worst of the five bottles I purchased. Only in the finish does this even hint at the complexity of my best experiences with this wine. A shame. 5-11-10-2: 78/100.
Update: This was so bad yesterday I could only choke down one glass. Good news is that there was a lot left over for today, when this wine tasted much, much better, losing the awful palate flaw of last night as if it had never been. Now showing some pretty anise: 5-12-16-8: 91/100.
