February 18, 2021 - 2nd of several bottles w neighbors by candlelight during TX Snovidgeddon. Notes are after the fact but when I first opened this it was soft and seemed past its peak, but it added weight 45 minutes later.
Still shows its dark fruit pedigree beneath a deep coat of maturity and elegance. You’d guesss this as new world, but it’s punching well-above its price.
If I had any more of these (and I don’t) I would consume in the next 1-2 years simply because there’s more risk waiting than enjoying it today.
WOTN was a 13 Foley Mountain Merlot, 90 mins in the decanter.
Note:this bottle endured 3 relocations, each halfway across the country.1,481 views
