Community Tasting Note

Friday, August 13, 2021 - 2007 I just opened 8/13/21. Very deep rich color with floral notes. Very tight opening this wine at 14 years this needs time to decant and open up. Thick viscosity as this clings to my glass as I swirl around this wine. The cork was still looking like new
After 10 minutes a small sip is still very tight and chewy. I notice the oak more than the fruit yet.
It’s not very fruit forward yet and very dry but I can already tell there’s some complexity that should come out once this opens up.
After opening up for 40 minutes some fruits start to come forward with layers of complexity and lingering but still tight .
Now after 1 hour and 10 minutes it’s got some nice layers of fruit and more approachable. Very long lingering finish with some tannins still pronounced
Very nice and becoming more enjoyable now
Earthy and rich seems full bodied and not super smooth but still very yummy if you like dry wines
After 2 hours it’s delicious and layers of fruits like plum and black cherry nuances and lingering flavors for minutes are forthcoming
