Community Tasting Note

90 Points

Sunday, May 29, 2022 - A little bit too alcoholic on the nose along with black fruit and, in particular, cassis. Just teetering on the edge of the opening of the drinking window. I decanted it three hours before dinner which was necessary. The wine is both soft and not in the mouth - soft floral and berry characteristics up front and then tightening up with the tannin on the finish. I agree w/ Jeff Leve about time - I doubt I’ll wait 8 more years but I would like to think I’ll wait another four or five and I think the wine, then, will be an elegant beauty.
