Community Tasting Note

88 Points

Monday, December 26, 2022 - Decanted and tasted after 20 min aeration.
Garnet with brick edge,as it opened there were faint spice/pipe smoke notes, later vegetal nose developed, metallic note on the palate, at 1 hr it had put on weight, showed dried red cherry flavor.
Another hr, the wine continued to open up smooth,soft palate red fruits and subtle spices- no rough sensations at all. I adjusted my score upward.
End result is I was happy to watch it open up over a 2-3 hr period. First impressions not always the best, lesson learned.
