Community Tasting Note

  April 12, 2020 - This is a massive wine that needed at least three hours in the decanter to shed some tannins and open up. Hard to get past the tannins, but the wine did show a nice core of fruit that seems to be hiding a bit for now. I agree with others that this is a wine that should be held for a while, but if drinking anytime soon, decant for at least 3 hours, if not more before starting consumption, or drink over a few nights.

  Also, get on their mailing list. They sell this via pre-order every January for a discount (20% off). Then the price goes up to the retail price ($95). Wine is released/shipped around October.
