Community Tasting Notes 10

  October 12, 2018 - PnP. This wine needs lots of air, or time in the cellar. It was decanted after first tasting and it kept improving throughout the meal, but will be better yet with time. The nose was quite earthy with some dark fruits. After opening a bit, the palate yielded dark berry flavors, some spice, earthiness, and tannins that were quite drying. The makings are here, it just needs time --hold for at least 3 years, then decant, and you'll be rewarded. 88 for now. Can go to 94 in time. Matches very well with lamb ragu.

  September 13, 2018 - Morning dew/woodsy on the nose. Dry, tannic wine with minimal fruit. It needed about 30 mins to open up. Still young. Dark berry, earthy tones. Actually liked it as the night progressed.

  September 9, 2018 - Huge! VA and purple fruits on the nose. Stemmy tannins up front, followed by a wall of fruit tannins. This needs time, a lot of it.

  June 6, 2018 - Wilson Daniels: Celebrating 40 Years (The Lakewood - Chicago IL): Tasting, brief note. Floral and spice driven start with lots of black fruit. Great nose, less alluring palate shows the same flavors but slightly awkward for right now. Long finish, just extremely firm. Cellar until at least 2021, preferably even longer.
