Community Tasting Note

Monday, April 25, 2016 - Very interesting. I have two distinct impressions, very distinct. After about 90 minutes open, but not decanted.

First, before dinner, I tried it by itself. The nose is phenomenal, but I was pretty unimpressed when I drank it. It seemed flabby. On the nose, a lot of floral scents. Red berry, maybe a little cherry on the palate, but not engaging.

Second, with dinner (risotto and veal chop), still gorgeous nose (really gorgeous nose actually) but it tastes phenomenal. What seemed flabby now seems nicely acidic and very well balanced. Very odd. Tangy finish with a little black pepper. And a little bit smoky.

First impression just ok, second it was phenomenal. Funny how that works.
