Community Tasting Note

LiteItOnFire Likes this wine:

Tuesday, July 4, 2023 - Pulled this 375 to celebrate my daughters birthday & vintage as well as America. Happy 4th! Wanted a bordeaux and kind of forced it with this pull.

Decanted for 1.5 hours. The wine is perfectly built with a lean towards freshness as it is my favorite 2014 (although that in itself is not saying much) as it is a solid food wine (although drinking it solo). This is less coiled and locked than the last time but I should have listened to my note from 1.25 years ago. Hold off on opening for another few years to gain a bit more complexity and for the acid to settle in a bit more.

2.5 hours in, the mouthfeel becomes more creamy and velvety but still needs time in the cellar.

Sour blackberry, dark red sour cherries, cranberry, black raspberries, hint of nondescript citrus (I know makes no sense- like an Orange rind wirhout the orange) dark earth, rock and a laser finish that goes on for more than I would have expected.

HOLD UNTIL 2026 - 2028 before pulling another.
