Community Tasting Note

Jake Barnes Likes this wine:

Thursday, March 28, 2024 - From a lot of bottles purchased at retail with like-new fills. A small glass was previously removed from this bottle via Coravin (on 3/16/24).

This bottle showed very well after uncorking and a decant of about an hour. Whereas it was previously thin and uneven, today it was quite concentrated, pure, even, and very well balanced. There were lots of dusty tannins and just a perfect amount of acidity. It was rather undeveloped, though, and there was nothing tertiary going on yet.

This is clearly a great wine with a ton of substance, but a lack of development is holding it back. It was a bit simple and slab sided at this point. I won’t touch another of these for maybe five years. 13% ABV (great/****/17/94)
