Community Tasting Note

jonboy74 Likes this wine:

Sunday, September 8, 2019 - Tasting immediately after opening had me very nervous. Big tannin, no flavor, odd smell. After 2 hrs in the decanter it opened but just a bit. Still not what i had hoped for. After a spicy dinner, and 2 more hours in the decanter, it finally hit its stride. Tannins softened a bit and I am getting the tasting notes everyone else mentions below. Cork was in excellent shape (a wee bit of mold on the top of the cork). Paid $125 at auction. I probably expected a little more in terms of QPR but this is a good wine once it opens up.

10NOV19 - Bottle 2, 3 hr decant in wine fridge. Lovely bottle, very enjoyable. Reaffirming the 93 points. I think this wine will continue to improve over the next 5-7 yrs.
