tasted like a baby with initial fruit on the nose that shut down quickly then tight tannins and sour cherries that finally softened towards the end of the bottle a good decant needed in this 12 yr old wine

Opened and attempted to finish the final 1/3 of this bottle tonight. Had been accesed via the Coravin 3 times for about 2/3 of the bottle, starting 11 weeks ago and stored in the cellar. The wine had been decent on previous pours. This was now not acceptable to for drinking.

Medium red color. PNP, drank 1 glass over an hour plus. I was pleased with how this drank tonight. The nose is quite floral, with dry earth notes followed by cherry fruit. The palate offers sour cherry, distinct minerality with a metallic edge, earth, floral, medium finish. Light body, a little thin, but with enough tannins to hang on for a year or two. 88+ to 89pts.

Identical to note from 1/7/14. Quite acceptable. Used the rest for Beef Bourguignon.
