Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, August 23, 2022 - One Year Anniversary CLT Tasting Group (82 Giacosa, 86 Las Casas, 91 Heitz Matha's & More) (Charlotte, NC): Decanted for 2 hours before back in the bottle for 2 hours slo-ox prior to serving. What an amazingly aromatic nose – rustic red flowers both delicate and fierce. On the palate: bramble, cigar box, cedar, and forest floor showing great complexity and finesse traversing these flavor waves. Elegant balancing of primary and secondary flavors with a decided lean towards secondary. Long savory finish. A classic and proper claret – a Bordeaux drinker’s Bordeaux delivering at its apogee. What a wine.
