Community Tasting Note

  July 15, 2018 - I can imagine this potentially not lasting two days strong if it wasn't refrigerated somewhat soon after opening (and left open and uncooled for 4-5 hours), but that's what I did, and day 2 it is drinking better than day 1, but I didn't give it much of a chance the first day. Loving it day 2 though! If my hunch is correct, based on other reviews, this could fall off quick day 2, but it's singing now! Well balanced and put together, multifaceted, but I'm finding it's depth to be primarily tied to it's astringency, which is understandable for a 2015. It's hard to judge it's future based solely on day 2 as such, but I'm guessing 3-5 years until prime time.
  
  Update: Day 3
  It's even better day 3. But most telling is the fact the bottle sat on a shelf all night and was not cooled. I have to assume that these bottles have simply been in a dumb phase for most everyone, as my bottle sat over night from day 2 to day 3 without chilling in the fridge, and came out even better. So I feel like these are pretty safe to cellar for a bit.

  7/16/18, 5:22 PM - I'm now on day 3, and the bottle sat all night on a shelf, and NOT cooled (very limited space in our rental fridge), and it's honestly better now than before. I think this has a lot of life in it's future, safe to cellar, just probably went through a confusing dumb phase, creating reviews that were as off as the timing of the bottle being drank. I'll update my main note as well. :)
