Community Tasting Note

  • csimm wrote: 93 points

    January 21, 2024 - This bottle was pristine, and needed at least a couple of hours of decanted air to get into form and offer some decent flavor expansion. Plum, black cherry, cedar, dusty spice, and subtle hints of burnt orange rind. Finishes linear and notably focused. A great food wine once it got going. Based on this bottle, it should lay on its side a little longer. Try again in 2028-2030, but it isn't a mistake to pop now with some air. Freshness is on point.
