Community Tasting Note

Friday, November 29, 2019 - Interesting wine. Consumed over 30 hours. Essentially it drank perfectly fine upon opening but wasn’t exactly outstanding. Somewhat restrained and mid-weight with decent fruit but not the broad cassis and dark chocolate flavors with plumb fruit that I typically get from these wines. This led me to believe that the wine should be left alone for a day. Earlier this day I came back to it and it seemed to fatten up a bit. More fruit and spicy flavors were present. But still it wasn’t ready until about 30 hours after opening when it seemed to have a window of maybe 3 hours where it was a gorgeous wine. Happy to have this little experiment to share with readers. I probably sampled this wine 10 times over 30 hours! My 92 was at its best and 90 or 91 on the other occasions.
