Community Tasting Note

Saturday, August 22, 2020 - Opened and slow-oxed for ~4 hours before drinking. The nose is effusive, with the black raspberry that other notes have mentioned, though I also get a touch of a green streak, which may be the vintage or could be some unintegrated oak, I'm not certain. The palate is medium light with a silky texture on the front but some slightly raw tasting acidity showing up on the back end, along with a gentle frame of tannins. This has potential to improve, and while it's drinking well enough at the moment, I think it could stand some additional cellaring for the components to integrate. Update on 1/3 of the bottle recorked and left in the fridge overnight: this holds up very well and seems more integrated, with the acidity poking out less, and the herbal note on the nose less evident. I could you have been more generous the first night.
