Community Tasting Note

Saturday, October 30, 2021 - This wine was kept at a 45 degree angle for 90+ days & decanted for sediment. This is just in such a lovely spot...I'm going to have a difficult time holding off on opening my remaining bottles. The structure is still evident, but this is just hitting that stage where everything about the wine is seamless. The nose has that beautiful earthiness, like the underbrush during a fall walk in Maine (or Oregon is probably more accurate), with some notes of mushroom faintly starting to come in as well. The palate is pure & bright with notes or red fruit and a faint hint of bricking that reminds you that this is not as young as the fruit might suggest. Like eating a handful of fresh & dried cherries together. I just love this wine, and am so grateful that Jim opened up the cellar to share this with folks so they could see how special these wines are with some time sideways. I will try to hold my two remaining bottles at least another 2 & 7 years...as I am 99.99% certain they will still only continue to improve with age.
