Community Tasting Note

    March 10, 2023 - Time to drink up as they say, and this was on that list for me. Bottom line, its there if not past there, enjoy. Cork was solid, no seepage, pulled clean. Poured to a decanter, little to no sediment. Nose was a rare word I use in these cases, seductive. Dark Fruit, beets, V8, tobacco, pencil shaving, still holding to some forest and herbs. Hour decant. Super light in body, shocked vs how opaque and lively the nose. Mixed fruit, ripe plums and strawberry, medium acidity, forest floor, mushrooms, truffles, glycerin; little to none on tannin. Another hour, its silk, so smooth, singing. Only gripe is the light finish, no length. Its a now wine, nothing lingers, killer on the front and a great time capsule of what was and doesn't hang out for the finish.
