Community Tasting Note

• wine guy wrote: 90 points

  January 4, 2007 - We did not decant ahead of time (too rushed in grabbing a bottle for dinner at friends). But we decanted there for an hour and the wine was shy about showing much. Initially had a vegital nose with hints of underlying fruits. It changed completely with an hour aeration during appetizers and opened up to exhibit a smokey cherry laced nose and palette. We left it in the glass after a few sips to have after dinner and it continued to get better, promising that it would improve with age. This was definitely too early for this wine. I'd give it another 2-3 years before trying another bottle. I'm not worried about it fading before then and I think it will be even better with more aging.
