Community Tasting Note

Thursday, March 28, 2019 - WTDS at Spoon (Spoon & Stable, Mpls, MN): Dark red color. PNP, drank a glass over an hour plus. Checked this with the Coravin before heading back to work at lunch and all was well. On pouring this had a wonky note that seemed a bit off to me. Lopez can have some pretty different aromatics, so I didn't say anything at first. It seemed to swirl away on the nose though I still had kind of a moldy basement thing on the palate too. Most didn't think that it was corked, but I have to wonder if it was lightly so. All that being said, after a good half hour the nose just blew up and was intensely aromatic with the classic mix of red fruits, lacquer, leather, dried cherry, potpourri and spices that I've come to expect from this. The palate too seemed brighter, very Burgundian, dried roses, lacquer, dried cherry and wood.
