Community Tasting Note

  • Mark1npt Likes this wine: 94 points

    March 23, 2022 - Pretty solid wine. Pnp til 2 hours out, a plummy cab nose with some element of forest floor. Good weight in the mouth, nice density of fruit. Gets better with more and more air. 91 at the pnp, 93 two hours later. Trying to make the last bit in the glass, last another hour to see where it goes, but it all points to up another point with more air. The red plummy fruit turns a bit into red cherry by hours 3-4. The wine settles in nicely, all coming together into a very nice balanced, finished product with a touch of oak. Very good acidity adding backbone. I'd have to go with a 94 with 4 hours of air, so decant long enough to get it there.
