Community Tasting Note

• Echinosum wrote:

  December 30, 2022 - Was rather dumb. Last bottle I had 9 months ago I felt it was blooming out a bit, but this one wasn't. Was decanted a couple of hours in advance, was very dumb on first tasting, but it did open a bit with shaking and later in the meal. But then drinking it over several subsequent days didn't really get any better. In fact it became rather unpleasant by the end.
  
  In a funny place right now. It is clearly still early in its life, and I have another 6 bottles in remote storage and I guess they are going to stay there for a few years.

  But even with the bottle variation, I still think there's no harm in keeping this a few years longer. NR '15s will age.
