Community Tasting Note

• JohnMcIlwain Likes this wine:

  May 21, 2022 - I've been blessed by a few bottles of this vintage of the Baby Jesus over the years and this may have been the best yet. Hauntingly pretty aromatics and a beautiful, mostly resolved palate. Perfumed and spiced on the nose with little whiffs of underbrush, game, and sandalwood. Fine fruit and resolving structure and a luxuriating, lingering finish to the palate. There's splendid inner mouth perfume and a fine bit of the peacock's tail. Bottle courtesy of SH.

  I just get in a bottle of that wine at an auction and was wondering how did you prepared the bottle. Did you open a few hours before or did you served it right away?
  Thanks

  2/3/23, 3:16 AM - My friend brought the bottle. If I recall it was double decanted for sediment and brought to the restaurant. It was served following Champagne and white wines. So possibly 2-1/2 to 3 hours after opening? Sorry I can’t be more precise.
