Community Tasting Note

• Wine Gopher wrote: 90 points

  March 15, 2020 - Way too young. I opened on Friday and decanted 2 hours. It was tannic and closed so I audibled to a different wine for dinner and funneled this back in to the bottle and vacu-vinned. Checked in on Saturday and it hadn't evolved from Friday. Opened again on Sunday and it was still closed. Decanted for an hour and ate with a steak. Scoring off of Sunday.
  
  After long wait it was ready to drink. Muted nose, red fruited, hint of pepper. Medium body. Very smooth at this point. Medium finish.

I would expect they will need a lot of patience...possibly 5+ years or a long, long decant. My magnum won't be opened until 2030 or so.
