Community Tasting Note

• kevinpatrick Likes this wine: 93 points

  July 3, 2022 - Sunday Drop-in at Cork Vault Charlotte (Guigal, Delas, Tablas Creek) (Charlotte, NC): Decanted 2 hours before sampling where it was a bit disjointed. Needed the 3rd hour of air before settling into fine form.
  Nose: rapidly evolving following the decant; mushrooms, ripe strawberries with a hint of caramel that blew off.
  Body: Full-bodied with flavorful plums and currants balanced delightfully against rustic brown leaves and red clay notes.
  Finish: 60+ seconds of deliciousness.
  A wine showing great character on the day especially against the more fully integrated and balanced 1999 Delas Frères Hermitage Les Bessards.
