Community Tasting Note

  January 3, 2022 - Finally enjoyable to drink! At 5 years old, my guests were too modest to spit it out. At 15 years, tannins had softened but took 2 days to open up. At 20 years...
  Nose initially closed (even after a 2-hour decant). Then something earthy, leather, stone and a faint hint of herbs.
  Minimal bricking. My wife thought I opened a Brunello or Barolo, but heavier body than both.
  Tart black cherry and some other dark fruits. Tannins soft and integrated. Has not develop much secondary (aging) aromatics or taste. Tannin structure could last another 5 years, but I do not know what else I will be waiting for. Prime for drinking. My last bottle.
