Community Tasting Note

aero Likes this wine:

Sunday, April 2, 2023 - Medium+ bodied, modern styling, lower quality natural cork - likely will not live as long as the wine.

Drank over 2 days: Day 1 decanted half the bottle... coarse tannins, fresh oak, sappy fruit, some smoke, dry herbs, and tar. A bit impenetrable. It's fine - some quality shows.

Day 2: a little soft and tired, still unforgiving and monolithic until 4 hours into it some reduction appeared, and as it subsided: gorgeous. A denser 2015, with less bright crisp black/red fruit... this coats your palate with more of a berry reduction from a castiron pan. A warm compote, with cacao in its persistent finish. Excellent for the price.

Needs 24 hours open in bottle, or another 3-4 years to enter its drinking window with a brief decant.
