Community Tasting Note

Thursday, April 18, 2019 - Based on other tasters comments decanted this first and think it paid off. Also agree with others that despite the decant, the first sniff and taste had something unpleasant almost rubbery, but this blew off in a few minutes.

Dark garnet in the glass. Nose of dark cherries, dried herbs, plum and a whiff of tobacco. Palate was a bit more austere than the nose, but red fruits and spice came through. Finish had nice balance and overall the bottle improved over the 2-3 hours it was open. Went nicely with Tomatoes Apizza white pizza.

Overall, enjoyable and at the Costco price of $19 a nice buy.
