Community Tasting Note

Monday, January 14, 2019 - This was an awesome wine opened to celebrate my birthday from a well stored Magnum. Opened and slow ox'd for 2-3 hours taking a small pour. Cork broke in half on open... happens a lot on my vintage Mags. First sip was little tight but nice fruit with hint of graphite on the nose. After first hour was opening nicely with dark cherry fruit some cocoa and blackberry a deep cherry color with just a very slight amber rim. Double decanted for travel. Dinner was at J. Gilberts Steakhouse with a dry aged prime filet for a perfect pairing. Continued to evolve and get better over the next 3-4 hours. Capped about third of bottle for following day. Faded a bit but still solid. Think I'd drink up a 750ml bottle soon as the magnum was seeming to fade just slightly and tannins seemed completely resolved. I love birthday wines LOL
