Community Tasting Note

Saturday, October 2, 2021 - Opened this a little too early. I'm also learning that my palate doesn't overly enjoy the graphite taste you get in some quality wines that many critics like.

Nonetheless, this wine took quite a journey in the 3 hours we consumed this. At first it was tight and tannic with not much fruit showing. As it progressed it was more balanced with a mineral and graphite but still not very fruit forward.

I believe with some bottle age, this one could evolve into a nice bottle. Unfortunately it just doesn't suit my palate until about 3 hours of decanting.
