Community Tasting Note

Goldstone Likes this wine:

Monday, April 30, 2018 - Good neck fill bottle briefly decanted then drank over the next 2 hours alongside a 1989 Dunn Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. Transparent ruby colour but still very jewelled and alive. Nose was initially much quieter than the Dunn like a water-based perfume of rose and rose-hip. For the first hour, the palate is still quite good acidic freshness but with some alcohol and greenish tannin crowding out the evident dep redcurrant fruit lurking in the background. But....then the nose evolved into something much more ethereal, elegant and almost chiffonesque in its elegant multidimensionality. Likewise, the palate took on a multi-dimension power but with a feminine elegance and ligthness that extended to a finessed mind-expanding finale. I think this wine really needs to be a bottle shared between no more than two or three people...a single glass won't reveal its complexity as it opens up. Gorgeous!
