Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 25, 2022 - Tasted alongside the 2012 version. Initialled decanted for 1-1.5 hrs. While the nose showed promise with Dutch liquorice and a tarry balsamic reduction the wine still has a disconcerting amount of non-integrated tannins. Very rough and short finish. Did open up through the evening and pairing with med-rare striploin with sautéed mushrooms did help smooth out the tannic beast. However, QPR-wise this wine is a disappointment. At this price, I expect either to be wowed out of the gate or guardedly impressed with the future potential of the wine. This did neither. I’m burying our last bottles and will dig out a few years from now and see if cellar alchemy prevails.
