Community Tasting Notes 2

  February 11, 2016 - What an unusual wine experience. When I popped the cork I poured some in a glass to see if it needed decanting. It tasted pretty good at first; 10 minutes later the wine was lean and acidic. I tried again and gave the glass 15 minutes and the wine was even worse. So I vacuvinned the bottle since dinner was an hour away.
  
  Ok, poured an hour later the wine tasted youthful and behaved like I would expect a youthful pinot to behave. Over the next hour it grew more complex while never losing its core of black raspberry fruit. The last sip was delicious, but still a bit rough around the edges. A strange experience, but I will wait a couple years before opening another bottle, hoping the rough edges disappear and the wine behaves like a rich, yet graceful 20 year old bottle!
