Community Tasting Note

Tim Heaton Likes this wine:

Monday, May 19, 2014 - If modern day, 99 point oak, I mean wine, from Napa is your thing, you'll hate this. Earthy, to the point of near off-putting, this needed every bit of the two hours it was given in the decanter before it bloomed, finally transcending its blanket of poopy soil and decaying mushrooms. Perhaps it was some bottle variation, but this became thin, almost shrill by the last glass, 90 minutes after its full aeration in decanter. The second bottle from a case purchased on release. Whereas the first bottle kept gaining intensity right through the final glass, this slipped, again, hopefully due to bottle variation. Drink or hold for 15-20 more years if cellared properly. recommended
