Community Tasting Note

fingers Likes this wine:

Friday, October 16, 2020 - This bottle was fantastic right out of the gate. Light hazy ruby color with a bit of sediment. Cork in perfect shape. Lovely perfume of mixed berry pie and floral elements and only a slight hint of the smoky wood that used to be more prominent in the bouquet. The palate has a gentle entry and is a bit soft on acidity for my taste, but I am enjoying the earth and mushroom notes and a little bit of that indescribable Burgundy magic that I had hoped to get. I refuse to throw food at it for fear of overwhelming the subtle beauty I'm tasting, but maybe seabass or white-sauced pasta would work well. After 2 hours it's holding up ok, but I'll have to report back when this bottle is eventually kaput.
Down to the final pours 6+ hours later and it’s held together very well, though I still don’t have confidence in it’s long term future.
But it’s nice to get a good one.
5+12+17+7= 91
