Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, February 14, 2024 - Poured about 1 glass from the bottle upon opening and let the rest breathe in bottle. Drank over ~7 hours. Tight initially with notes of raspberry, cedar, and graphite. A bit of acidity and alcohol as well that airs out quickly.
Around the 2 hour mark the next glass brings forth prominent cedar, blackberry, and mint notes.
4+ hours after opening the wine has fully opened with the oak falling into the background and the fruit taking over. Medium in body with a long finish and fully resolved tannins. Drinking beautifully now and seems close to peak but still lively enough to hold for years.
