Community Tasting Note

  • richard.presser Likes this wine: 92 points

    December 3, 2021 - Wonderful aromatic, herbaceous, spicy, red fruited, mature aromas.
    Ditto palate. Fully mature. Now-2 years based on this bottle. Wonderful, gentle power and mature complexity. It’s why we age wine.

    12/5/21, 2:48 PM - I didn't. With older wines, I decant them and I watch them unfold in the glass. The most complex aromatics are highly volatile compounds and if the wine is low in acid, primarily, these can disappear quickly and you have missed much of the beauty. This drank well from the first moment and developed complexity as it went. I recommend you do the same. I shall be interested to read your notes on it.
