Community Tasting Note

BarryPaulPrice Likes this wine:

Saturday, August 20, 2016 - Bottle One: Black fruit and mocha on nose immediately upon opening and pouring without decant. Deicious right out of the gate. Fruit forward for first thirty minutes then gave way to more balanced expression with noticeable tannins. Vaccuum sealed 2/3 of bottle in fridge til following night. Wine was more integrated, nose muted but tannins softer and fruit softer too but still present on day two. Day one it drank like a bigger Cali cab, day two it drank like a Bordeaux.

Bottle Two: Opened this after finishing the 2/3 bottle from night before. My guests wanted more so we opened the second bottle. This time there was less concentrated fruit and less plush nose up front, but wine opened over an hour into black fruit, licorice and black currant notes with a touch of tobacco. Very nice. Would have liked to see how it evolved in hours two and three but it didn't last that long!

Looking forward to drinking the magnum of this I still have. Will take time to savor that.
