Community Tasting Note

Monday, April 6, 2020 - Coming along very well and I think will peak in 7-10 years, based on the showing tonight. It took over an hour (no decant) to fully blossom. This is an imperfect wine - the tannins can be a bit rough at times, it isn't have the most elegant expression, it doesn't show the midpalate complexity and drive that finer vintages show. But it is a truly lovely wine, and a testament to what this producer can do in a poor vintage. The aromatics are complex, with dark berries and fresh and dried leaves and savory tones of rock and old-sea-bed, and some musky notes too. The palate is very fresh, airy, and pure, and very pretty. It's less harmonious here than on the nose, but still very lovely, and when it harmonizes after a bit over an hour, becomes pungent and powerful while still showing lightness and grace. Hard to argue with this, especially in 06.
