Community Tasting Note

• RobbieD68 Likes this wine: 97 points

  November 12, 2022 - Similar to the last time i tasted it, except much more blackberry thn usual. We opened and closed per Justin Smith's recommendation, and it worked beautifully. This is complex and smooth with a lovely finish. My guess is it's peaking, which is fine by me since this was my last one of the vintage.

  Did he offer any suggestions as far as time period between recorking and reopening to drink?
