Community Tasting Note

carlsport Likes this wine:

Sunday, December 24, 2017 - Tasting of 2001, 2007 & 2010 vintages. Decanted the 07 and 10 for about an hour prior to starting, the 2001 about 15 minutes before start. Drank on own and with a Lasagna dinner.

Out of the gate, the 2001 was the clear winner for me, with a surprising amount of fruit and some soft spices giving a nice complexity. The 07 and 10 both were both big and a bit green to start. The 10 probably went best with the sausage lasagna.

Both the 07 and the 10 improved over the evening, indicating a longer decant may have been necessary. In the end, the 01 still held the lead, with a close second for the 10. 2 of the other 3 agreed with me, but 1 had the 07 first and 10 last.
