Community Tasting Note

• kevrob822 Likes this wine: 89 points

  April 20, 2018 - Wow, I can’t remember when I had a wine evolve as much as this one. Initially, upon opening (a PnP), it was very flat, tight and a real ho-hum wine. I didn’t have a decanter, so I just poured some good size glasses and let it sit. After about 2 hours, it really got much better. It had a richer aroma and the taste was more balanced and smoother. Medium Tannins and Acidity. Taste was dark fruit, blackberries with vanilla and earth.
  
  I was debating after the 2 hours of raising this to 90, but think it’s more of an 88/89. At opening, it was only about 85! Still though, with the price paid of $40, I’d still only give it a Good QPR. Was expecting a bit more, but this did get better... much better.
