RyanWu Likes this wine: 92 points
September 24, 2022 - All the good things were there on day one. The other half was decanted in wine cellar for a day. However, it faded away so fast on day two. On the first day, the nose was full of dry herb, mineral, and some dark fruit underneath. The body was dusty but filled with chocolate. Just like midnight pumpkin coach, the magic was gone on day two. This is so wired for me that this tannic young wine faded away in this pace! I rated 93 on day one, but only 91 on day two. The aging potential for me is questionable that I might not be a fan after celllaring.

I'll have to try my own little experiment based on yours when I receive my case. Thank you for the notes! -
