Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, August 30, 2023 - My first ever bottle of this one.....slow ox'd an hour then cork back in bottle, then cork removed while the wine breathes for another hour, then finally decanted for the rest of the evening, maybe 3+ hours on top of the previous time noted. This is a very funny wine. 91-92 at the outset but with more air over the 2nd and 3rd hours of air it really sings, maybe a 94-95. HMC said he needed a cigar for it at that point. While I'm not a cigar guy, I got his drift. It became more complex, deeper, smoother, classier, more complete if that makes sense. That's when it became a 95 for me. However......1-2 hours later and it falls apart a bit. This one held a lot of promise for me, but in reality it has a very limited drinking window. Weak, tart and thin at the end, at 6+ hours of air. 94 at it's very best point in the evening with the HMCs.
