Community Tasting Note

Chris@77 Likes this wine:

Saturday, October 31, 2015 - 2.5 years after bottle #1 wine has lost color saturation but turned darker, tannin resolved, pronounced acidity that will insure long life. Aromatic nose without bottle bouquet. Wine has entered drinking plateau, caveat - based on this bottle. Purchased from winery, stored at 55F. The baby fat fruit is gone, replaced with sweet-side, smooth pinot fruit flavor but without the distinct flavor elements present when the wine was younger. I'm surprised it has been this evolved, look forward to what it becomes although based on this bottle it isn't as exciting as when issued. To anyone holding these ... the acidity is high enough so that you will want to decant it to take the edge off. It will drink very well with food, i.e. red meat or flavorful poultry. The good news is I have more bottles ready to drink! ... Later, moved remaining bottles to front cabinet to drink. Surprise but should not have been surprised ... wine has thrown a lot of sediment, consistent with evolution.
