Community Tasting Note

  • shifter Likes this wine: 90 points

    November 23, 2019 - Decanted and drank slowly over 3 hours. Cork fell apart. Classic burgundy on the nose from the moment it was opened. Nose was more expressive than the palate early. Started to open up after an hour, but really started to shine at 2 hours. Unfortunately shortly thereafter it completely faded and lost all fruit on the nose and became tart on the palate. Undrinkable after that. Enjoy it early.
