Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, February 13, 2024 - So, I don't always write notes about wines, but this one kind of was getting in my head and I thought I should do so on it because it was a bottle pretty much buried in long term storage for some reason, and I assumed well past it's window, but it turned out to be a bit of a conundrum. As it turns out maybe CT Forum pal forceberry had a similar circumstance about one year ago.
I had several bottles of this vintage Termes, 7 of 8 of which were consumed over a decade ago. Big, juicy, flashy wine that was good but tannic and oak/fruit robust, that is now tamer and resolved, also good, but just different in its gestalt. Has a more tired oak waft to it, but still nice quality fruit with savory earthy under layers. Different, probably personally preferable now, though not honestly better per se. Still, surprising it wasn't disjointed or some type of mess, which is kind of what I was expecting when I opened it. Honestly, pretty good, and fully consumed after several hours. And still 90-91-ish.
