Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, February 21, 2023 - On Shae's advice, I decanted this for 4 hours, which I'm going to say is definitely the minimum - I wish I'd given it more, but hey I'll live. You never know what's going to happen when you finally open a wine you have pinned a lot of hopes on. This was the best case scenario: one of the finest cabernets I've ever had, period. The nose is a little shy for now, but the flavor was mind-blowing. There is so much detail work uncoiling here my brain couldn't take it all in. It's not a heavy wine, though it's defiitely bold and the length is freight-train like. So much velvet power, suggestions of things to come, and yet also current rewards for giving it a try now. I am going to let the remainder rest a few more years. We used Spieglau Definition glasses, which I think was a good choice. My wife, upon hearing its current retail price, said, "Worth it."
