Community Tasting Notes 9

  February 28, 2024 - Aiolos walkaround tasting (Aiolos HQ): Double decanted
  Very fragrant, extrovert, decadent, spicy, pot pouri, peppery, capsicum filled nose, so welcoming, there is also DMS-like sweetness here which is strange (like cooked corn), gets more herbal with time.
  Palate shows the same flavor profile, high acidity, tight tannins, a touch warm, big bold tannins that are not aggressive, mineral, long finish

  July 18, 2023 - Opened for about 30 minutes and drank half of the bottle. The wine is bold, lots of acidity, bacon fat, a bit tart, not complex and short finish. My girlfriend like it a bit more than me. We put it in the fridge to revisit in about 2 hours, didn’t decant it for the lack of one.
  
  The wine went downhill further, the tart notes because flat out bitter and the acidity to the roof.
  
  I’ll hold my last 2 bottles for about 3 years and then make sure to give it at least one hour decant…

  December 28, 2021 - Drank over 2 days.
  Nose of dark black and blue fruit, olive, funk, spice. Palate was similar with a little sanguine note.
  Overall a very good wine that got much better on the second day.
  50+5+13+17=8

  December 1, 2021 - Big wine but pretty smooth. A little gamey. Still pretty young.

  November 3, 2021 - I found this to be quite nice. A much more restrained Cayuse. Elegant. All the usual notes you'd expect from Cayuse, but more balanced, maybe even nuanced.
