Community Tasting Note

  • STLMIKE Likes this wine: 90 points

    February 19, 2018 - I used a strainer which collected a large amount of very fine sediment. Decanted and returned to cleaned bottle and tasted over 4 nights - stored under vacuuvin. This was best on day 4 and could have made it at least to day 5. Can tell this was monolithic early on as the tannin are only beginning to soften. Integrated and well balanced at this point with nice fruit albeit an enjoyable but medium finish. Overall this wine is of high quality. One more bottle left and will try to wait another couple years.
