Community Tasting Note
Decanting Queen Likes this wine:
94 Points
Friday, June 30, 2023 - Deer Valley Palooza in 3 stages with Mark1npt and Agelvis; 6/25/2023-7/1/2023 (8,100 ft): Really curious to try this one after the review of Rhone who. Four hour slow ox after a double decant and seemed about right.
Aromatic nose of dark cherries and flowers. On the palate ripe cherries, berries and cough syrup. A hint of orange zest and tangerine fruit.
Big but balanced with an acidity that I enjoyed.
Almost a 95 for me
Tried the last 3 ounces of this in the airport lounge at sea level. Omg such a difference. 96-97. Is it the extra micro-ox or is my palate just dead at altitude?
