Community Tasting Note

• Rex66 Likes this wine: 93 points

  December 22, 2022 - Dinner at Carversteak, Las Vegas.
  
  Very clearly still a young, tightly wound wine. Decanted nearly an hour before first sip, aromatics were on full display, floral, fruity, herbal, all front and center. Wow. That first taste, though, the tannins had yet to subside, seriously obscuring the fruit. After about another 30 minutes, that beautiful Napa reddish black fruit started to come through and drank very nicely with my F-1 Australian wagyu strip steak.
  
  A longer initial decant would have clearly been better, but still, it was quite a beauty. Patience will definitely be rewarded.
