Community Tasting Note

johnrm Likes this wine:

Sunday, April 30, 2017 - I add this note simply to emphasise my belief that the wine still needs time after opening to show its best.
After decanting, there was a little browning at the rim. Good fruit when first opened. There seemed to be more tannin and less fruit 3h later but the wine opened up with a rare steak. Later (5h+), the fruit emerged more noticeably and included cherries, blueberries, and other dark fruits. The wine seemed to be saying 'just give me time to show!'. I think this is a good time to enjoy the rest of my stock but I'll still open it early with the confidence to let it open properly over a few hours before drinking.
