Community Tasting Note

• tedcholl Likes this wine: 94 points

  August 9, 2019 - One of my bucket list wines and one I enjoyed last week while on vacation. Dark Burgundy in color and brick colored around the rim. Nose was wonderful and so inviting. Med full bodied and smooth. Notes of blackberries, leather, smoke cedar, prune, raisin, forest floor, and faint floral notes. Decanted for 4 hours. You knew you were drinking a special and well made wine. I had probably unrealistic expectations for the wine so it didn't wow me like I had fantasized.

We've done that with some of the ones from the 80's and you just start to see the potential at that point. Had the '00 maybe a year or two ago and we also decanted like 4-5 hours and it was never not tight. These wines are definitely long term aging.
