Community Tasting Note

• #1Winelover Likes this wine: 100 points

  May 13, 2019 - I haven't had this in over a year so I decided to re-visit and it is still an exceptional bottle of wine that is holding up nicely. Perfectly. On the 1st night, it was very good but on night #2, it all came together. Note to self: decant, decant, decant!
  
  Dark purple throughout, with a great and strong smell. The acid and tannins have all come together. Pronounced flavors from Las Piedras; including earth, stone, mineral, and lots of chocolate. There is harmony with this wine and there is so much going on, it is a pleasure to drink.

  Note - Benchmark shows 9 of these available @ $208

  I just left it in the bottle with the cork on, but put it in the fridge. On day 2, I took it out of the fridge and waited a couple of hours.
