Community Tasting Note

Friday, April 7, 2023 - First bottle of this '07......decanted for 60 minutes before dinner and enjoyed for another hour after. Tons of sediment in the bottle. Filter carefully if you can. I used a finer. Initially bright red cherry fruit with a bit of tartness to it. Evolved over the 2nd hour to darker, plummy fruit. Carol said it turned more Bdx-ish on the nose and the palate. I can't argue her point. Mushroom, graphite elements with well integrated tannins and laid back acidity. I thought at one point it would get to a 94, but it never quite made it. A nice bottle, but probably coming down from its peak a tad. While I like older Napa reds, I don't know that I'd hold this one much longer.
