Community Tasting Note

GuanYu Likes this wine:

Friday, October 20, 2023 - Dark ruby red with a mix of orange and pink rim. Blackberry, blackcurrant, cedar, pencil shaving, cigar box, tobacco and spices. Wine was initially muted and flat. After breathing for 3 hours in the bottle (no decanting), nose was open and filled with bold cedar and pencil shaving found in mature claret. Palate on the other hand, was on the feminine side, with weak fruits and soft/silky tannin.

In my opinion, this wine was at prime, with elements integrated to their optimal point. Any further cellaring might upset the delicate balance the wine had achieved at time of tasting.
