Community Tasting Note

ex-sommelier Likes this wine:

Sunday, December 27, 2015 - Right after I popped the cork I smelled this wave of exceptional high toned fruit, like a viognier (or cote-rotie), after an hour it settled into distinctly cab franc territory, exotic and constantly shifting from herbal to spice to fruit, mature tones of cedar and tobacco and mushroom wove throughout but never dominated. Ageless aroma.

Palate was somewhat lackluster, it had verve and life but lacked any real heft, just a vehicle for the smell really. We didn't decant but tasted over a long evening and the palate didn't open. Aroma was best I've ever smelled however.
