Community Tasting Note

Friday, April 7, 2023 - A few days in Napa with fellow CT'r Cristal2000: I had been playing the Coravin game with this wine for a few months before finally opening the bottle tonight. It was a coiled-up beast with a super driven acid-tension thing going on that was ultra pura and chiseled, but did tread heavily on any true fruit expansion or expression. Once the cork was popped and the allowed to fully breathe, cherry and raspberry notes were injected with mineral-driven limestone notes, adding some breadth to the otherwise linear profile. Hours and hours of air gave it a daker profile (which I love), layering the fruit with some earth, currant, and black cherry flavors. Finishes with amazing persistence. Those of us not knocking on death’s door should probably hold these for 10-15 years. 95-96+ points.
