Community Tasting Note

pgrzesik Likes this wine:

Sunday, January 21, 2024 - This was a good wine - much better on day 2.

Pop and poured this on day 1 - felt like I was going to be disappointed. It felt hot on the nose, too much oak and alcohol on the nose. It was predominating. The mouthfeel was full bodied but a bit out of balance.

Put the cork back in and let it sit for 24 hours at room temperature. Lot better on the second day. The nose softened, lots of blackberries, dark chocolate, and a hint of pencil shavings. It is full bodied, much more balanced on the second day. Lots of fruit, tannins are in a good place. The finish was good, long, and smooth. The alcohol was present but very well integrated.Overall was really much more pleasant the second day. Really good wine.
