Community Tasting Note

I'd Rather Be Drinking Wine Likes this wine:

Thursday, May 4, 2023 - Another Great Luis Tasting! (Cahill Bistro): This was a PnP. I believe this wine would have benefited from a decant. 2007 is a bit perplexing to me...big fruit, big alcohol from a hot summer. I think the alcohol will calm down more and the fruit and some tertiary goodness are on the horizon (at least that is my hope)....However, not sure what to think after tasting this....Yes fruit is definitely there, but so is some heat from the alcohol....the question is which will calm down more, if at all? Will the heat/alcohol become more pervasive or will the heat subside with time? Stay tuned to the bat...errr...wine channel!

OK....enough fun, down to brass tacks on the wine. Big fruit, some roasted meat and some spice, with an earthiness and leathery layer lurking under the fruit and alcohol. My best advice....a 2-3 hour decant and serve with food if drinking now, or hold (like I will) and pray the wine gods look favorably on you! 92 today....??? tomorrow...but fingers crossed!
