Community Tasting Note

• Josephd Likes this wine: 90 points

  July 14, 2018 - This note is the first in CT regarding the 2013 vintage of this nice wine? The 2012 notes remarked on the importance of air to appreciating this wine. I poured a taste before I poured about 1/3 of the bottle into a small carafe. My immediate impression was that the Wine was closed, with a relatively thin mouth feel, but the finish was long with a nice balance of acidity and fruit that told me a little patience would be rewarded. After an hour, the nose was beginning to open, with cherry/strawberry. The wine now seems to have medium body, and the palate is similar to the nose. A lovely, long finish. I think this wine has more to it, but for today, I rate it 90. I sealed the bottle, applied vacuum, and expect that Day 2 will be even more enjoyable.
  I want to point out that part of enjoying this wine is giving it air. I encourage others that use CT to enter tasting notes. I trust the notes from CT more than notes from the professionals.
