Community Tasting Note

• fclarity wrote: 94 points

  September 2, 2017 - From a very nice looking bottle with a 2 cm fill, this wine had a deep red center with oranging rims. The medium intensity nose offered up cherries, oranges, rhubarb, and brown spices.
  
  This wine was interesting but subtle and subdued for the first few hours. Afterward, it slowly firmed up and filled out. It had light tannin and firm acidity. There were moments where there was a touch of excess alcohol and moments where it seemed to be well balanced. It was borderline 93 points.
  
  While this seemed to be entering the drinking zone, it needed 5+ hours in a decanter before it reached its potential. It will certainly last for 10 years. Will it get better? It seems to me there has been substantial bottle variation with this wine.
