Community Tasting Note

James Kim Likes this wine:

Saturday, February 24, 2024 - Stood up for 24h then decanted off sediment, which wasn't huge. Initially some funk which blew off. Took about 1.5h for that wine to come together. Now 3.5h after decant. Nice aromas of cassis and currants mixes with leather, cedar, old book mustiness(a good thing!), bark and a hint of dark caramel. Palate w tart currants, cassis, leather, cedar and bark. Elegant, light-med body with excellent acids and faint tannins. Lacks some concentration and depth and not that complex for me. Plenty of fruit but it is starting to dry out and become more tart. Still delicious thought. All in all, a fully mature and very nice wine which is probably on the other side of its peak and on a gentle downslope. Frankly, the wine more than met my expectations.
