2019 Torrin Akasha
Community Tasting Note

94 Points
Tuesday, July 4, 2023 - After the excellent 2018 Akasha last week, we wanted to give this one a try. Coravined into a mini decanter for 6 hours. Not sure it made a difference and maybe lost something on the nose from pnp.
Very similar to the 2018 but not drinking quite as well (yet, I hope). Big juicy fruit, very well balanced despite being overall HUGE. More savory notes than we found in the ‘18. Meaty, herbal, food like. Probably better complexity but overall not the same wow factor. Will try again in a year.
(Btw , in case I have given the impression that this wine wasn’t delicious, we ended up opening the whole bottle that I had painstakingly coravined. Not a drop left for day 2 analysis)
