Community Tasting Note

• WST Likes this wine:

  November 19, 2022 - Served blind to others; my bottle. Classic, well made young cab. Dark in color, flavor and character. Cassis, cigar box, caramel, graphite. A clay-like minerality. It was disappointing upon opening, but improved with 8 hours in the decanter. It could have used twice that or more, as it improved in a glass set aside for hours after the decant. Perhaps I'd have liked a little more acidity, but there was no denying its nobility. I have a little left in the bottle, and may visit again tomorrow.
