Community Tasting Note

  • Peech Likes this wine: 93 points

    August 19, 2019 - decanted 3 hours prior to serving. Overall a bit more muted than expected. Perhaps over-decanted? Got nicer a little later with some fruit, maybe a hint of chocolate, and smoke. Still tannic

    8/21/21, 7:39 AM - My thought on a wine like this is that you either have to PNP or decant for a much longer time, say 10 hours. My guess is that the tannin will build over the first 2-4 hours and then become more balanced after 6-8 hours. I know it sounds risky but I have done it countless times with younger wines and oxygen resistant Piedmontese.
