Community Tasting Note

Saturday, December 30, 2023 - Felt like branching out and so picked this up randomly to try. It's big but still tight at this stage. Drinkable if you must, but ideally needs a long rest.

Super packed and brick like upon opening and after a 6 hour decant, the nose shows some floral notes. Could never really shake a feint green or metallic finish. Seeing this is ~90/10 merlot / cab franc, I guess I could've done without the franc, but perhaps the wine doesn't stand without some of the structure or is it stylistic? idk.

Did not transform on day 2 either. There is stuffing here and I can see this being good for those who enjoy the style, but not one for me.

Nose: 89-90
Palate: 86-87
