Community Tasting Note

    November 27, 2021 - Needs lots and lots of air. Also seems to drink best a bit warmer than at cellar temperature. 3 hr decant seems to be about right; early on, this seemed very closed. At its peak, showed a lot of tart fruit, tart cherry, tart plum with lots of minerals. Not sure if this was grown on volcanic soil but it gave that sense. Loads of dark minerals, some leather, nutmeg, pepper. Fruit became increasingly warm-bodied and big, yet this always had a definite sense of dryness that at times came off as bitter. Not a lot of new oak presence on this.
