Community Tasting Note

perlasteve Likes this wine: 95 points
June 8, 2020 - Fabulous. Opened Friday. Initially funk, earth on the nose. Thought it was a Cayuse. However the palate was a little disjointed but not bad. Some fruit, minerals, tanins. Would have given a score of 90. Saved enough to drink a little over the next 3 days. What an evolution. Wine has lost the funk and is smooth, medium to full body, very balanced with delicious dark fruit and complex savary flavors. Nice finish. On day 1, opened bottle for several hours, then decanted for 1 hour. Prior comments suggest a long decant (5 hours) and I have to agree based in my experience with this bottle. Lots of years left, will revisit a bottle in 5 years
