Community Tasting Note

Javachip Likes this wine:

Tuesday, May 18, 2021 - Allowed to breathe in glass 1 hour. Clear deep garnet color. Reticent at first, with volatile notes of beef blood and stewed rhubarb. After another hour, a lovely bouquet began to bloom, offering creme de cassis, fennel, lilacs, lavender, river stones, rocky soil. Similar on the palate, seamless, balanced, full body without seeming heavy. Improved steadily with air, held up fine under vacuum stopper in refrigerator for four days, showing best on second night. Seems to be somewhere between awkward late adolescence and early maturity, not showing tertiary character at this point, needing several hours of air. May need a few more years to reach its zenith, where it will then stay for decades.
