Community Tasting Note

  • VoteferPedro Likes this wine: 90 points

    January 13, 2021 - pop 'n pour
    deep hue
    comes across with a concentrated fruit that is tart and sappy. It has a density and weight that to me suggests it will age but would be best with food.
    fascinating backstory of field blend planted in 1888...pre-phylloxera allegedly

    1/15/21, 1:23 PM - The note was night 1 (2 glassses over an hour and half)
    I nitrogen sprayed bottle, corked it and returned upright to my cellar

    Night 2 was very much the same....no decline, no evolution

    I feel this bodes well for the wine
    My next bottle I hope to recall this and decant about 3 hours first and follow it from there but it is fine with food. I feel though I have a strong preference for acidity and minerality in wine and not for flouncy plush wines and this is definitely in the first camp.
