Community Tasting Note

gigmoney Likes this wine:

Saturday, June 13, 2015 - Opened in the name of science. Opened and tasted. To me, this screamed old world bordeaux. Beautiful nose and silky on the pallette. Decided to decant. After 2 hours in the decanter, the wine had closed up. No longer silky on the pallette, it became a wine with tension in the midpalate. The tannins became more prevalent and I left it alone. Revisited this morning, and it finally integrated into the beautiful wine it is meant to be.

My advice: pop and pour. Less air is better for immediate gratification. Or give it 18 to 24 hours of air.

This will be a thing of beauty in 20 years.
