Community Tasting Note

oldwines Likes this wine:

Monday, December 31, 2018 - Decanted at 3:30pm and tasted until gone around 9pm. The wine was lightly tinged brick on the edge but overall looked good for it’s 32 years with a translucent medium to dark garnet color. The nose was a joy to smell and I could have been happy just smelling this all night. There was chocolate, tobacco, blackberry, tea and a complex array of floral notes. The tannins were fully resolved and the wine was smooth and silky in your mouth. Despite the flavors more or less reflecting those in the nose on the palate it was just a bit less expressive and finished with an earthy whisp of chocolate. Overall, a very nice wine that I paid $35 for on release nearly 3 decades ago. I don’t think there is any reason to wait any longer to have this wine. I can’t imagine it will get much better so enjoy any you have over the next couple years as I will with my last 2 bottles!
