Community Tasting Note

• JonnyG Likes this wine:

  December 20, 2012 - Shockingly shut down: closed, tight & tannic despite a several hour decant, something other tasters did not note. Does this wine go through a dumb phase in anyone's experience?

Did you bottle decant or large decanter? I suspect that this is one that needs to slowly unwind for it to shine, if you saved some for the second day I bet it will singing.

While a bit more forward than before, it is still super-tight, tannic and short on the palate. The fruit is now detectable at least, and promises to be interesting when the wine wakes up. Thanks for inquiring and sharing your thoughts.
