Community Tasting Note

• AGELVIS Does not like this wine: 83 points

  February 28, 2018 - Open four hours (decanted 30 min in fridge just before drinking). Deep purplish color. Candied red and blue fruit, vanilla, oak and alcohol on the fruit forward nose. Smooth, dry, somewhat tart palate. Soft, but firm tannins on the medium long finish.
  
  This was much better straight out of the bottle and I may have given it 88 points. With that said, dying in four hours is not good. This a PNP CS (now I know).

  3/1/18, 5:54 AM - 30 min in the fridge is known as “cold shocking” the wine. It lowers the wine’s temperature by 5 or 6 degrees, which focuses the nose. Above 70F, the alcohol gives a distorted impression.
