Community Tasting Note

Monday, October 14, 2019 - Really dry and reticent on opening, the tannins still present but they've thinned, and I hope that some fruit will emerge. Air softens the palate, but it's not really as giving as I had hoped, with some cherry and potpourri notes, but I was hoping that 15 years past the vintage, this would be in the drinking well zone. I'm wondering whether I waited too long - - has the fruit dried our already? - - or have I not waited long enough? The second night, this changed in the oddest way. The tone of the palate changed from red to black, and the tannins were gritty, the palate showing coffee grounds in taste and texture. A surprising showing, and I hope other bottles in my cellar show much better.
