Community Tasting Note

Sunday, July 22, 2018 - Not open for business yet. Decanted for four hours but that wasn‘t nearly enough. Opened-up a bit further with three hours in the glass. Closed, muted nose only revealing hints of cassis, violets and some dried herbs. Same thing on the palate. Textbook Napa Cab aromas, high complexity seem there but you get just the idea of the great wine it will be one day. Good structural frame with round tannins, a fresh acidity and a great balance. Certainly on the more elegant, bordeauxesque side of Napa, not trying to score with overwhelming opulence. I’ve made the same experience with a bottle I opened myself two months ago. So don‘t drink it yet. In case you can‘t resist, give it at least a 7 hours decant (and then better only drink it the next day).
