Community Tasting Note

  December 12, 2013 - The nose on this isn't giving all that much. To be fair, I didn't give it long in the decanter, because the palate is so beautiful that we've practically been chugging it. Aromas of lanolin, waxed ripe apple, floral notes, and subtle spice. Palate is crazy complex, with an explosive midpalate showing all kinds of nuances and incredible integration of flavors. This is really seamless, with everything feeling so well put together and tightly knit that it's almost hard to pull out individual flavors. But there are so many evident. This is a wine that shows incredible potential for improvement, yet it is already so impressive for its palate alone. I think it's very good+, just short of outstanding, as it is right now, only because the nose is pretty tight and I probably didn't give it enough air time. There's almost no question that it will be outstanding in a few years, and I am extremely glad to have a few more bottles for aging.
