Community Tasting Note

• lovemycab Likes this wine: 92 points

  March 25, 2023 - Decanted and drank over 2 hours. The decant helped as this continued to open up. Traditional Montelena with currant, oak, and some spice. Tannins nicely integrated. No hurry as these have plenty of time. While they might gain a little more tertiary notes, not sure time will improve this much more, but will wait a few more years before opening another one.
