Community Tasting Note

Monday, May 22, 2023 - Dinner at Union Square Cafe, brought this from my cellar. First time trying this vintage of the Antikytera. Decanted at the restaurant, the somm thought it might have been corked. There was a faint note of some TCA but it blew off after the decant. Decanted and drank over the course of the evening.

Light ruby/lavender color. Red fruits, baking spice and earth notes on the nose. Elegantly textured palate showing cherry, rhubarb, floral and licorice. Floral notes persisted through mid palate. Medium weight and finish

Wine improved significantly an hour plus in and continued to improve in the glass. It takes some coaxing and patience to get this to show - a 90 minute decant is advisable if venue allows.

PS...One trick worth sharing with Oregon Pinot. Leave it in the glass for a while if going on to another wine. in 30 minutes or so - pick it up but DO NOT swirl the glass. The nose will shows a beautiful caramel/ creme brulee characteristic. May happen with other wines but has been like clockwork with Oregon Pinot...
