Community Tasting Note

• lundmc Likes this wine: 95 points

  January 20, 2024 - Opened and immediately went through screen/aeration funnel into the decanter. Lots of sediment in the screen plus finer sediment in the bottle. After 30 minutes poured off a glass and rest went back in the bottle with no stopper for some slow ox.
  After 90 minutes first taste. Red fruits on nose and some in the glass. More dark fruit though and some vegetation/herbs, plus some baking chocolate. Super nice mouthfeel- a little creamy, but also a little grip.
  Two hours, smoothing out. Nose is fun now, like rhubarb and strawberry, and the palate has a little brightness, but turning darker and maybe even elegant (or a little closed off?) surprising for mountain fruit.
  2.5 hours ok now this is a window, I like this. Pedigree showing now, the Howell mountain and TRB beaming through. More rounded, vegetation receded, fruits across the spectrum.
  In the end, very good and I enjoyed the trip! Maybe needs to decant longer. Very enjoyable but I don’t know if it’s got much more to go.
