October 26, 2021 - -- decanted 7.25 hrs. before initial taste --
-- tasted non-blind over 1.25 hrs on Day 1 --
-- Day 2: tasted non-blind over 1.25 hrs, starting at the 31.25 hrs mark --
-- Day 3: tasted non-blind over approx. 1 hr., starting at the 55.5 hrs mark --
-- Day 5 (100 hrs) & Day 7: tasted non-blind over 45 to 60 minutes --
NOSE: very tight; dark red berries; clean; hint of melon (honeydew?). DAY 2: still tight, but a bit more giving than on Day 1; now a faint wet cement mineral note. DAY 3: still tight. DAY 5: clean; floral; red-fruited with a now-emerging cool little orange oil note. DAY 7: non-descript red fruits with touch of caramel, with a dash of "Vosne spice" adding complexity.
BODY: dark ruby color of medium-shallw depth; medium-light bodied.
TASTE: tight; lightly tannic; touch bitter -- lightly green/weedy (g/w); fine tannins are noticeable; lightly floral. DAY 2: still tannic; g/w element still there; noticeable oak; medium+ to high acidity; still tight. DAY 3: even more tight today, but at least g/w element is receding. DAY 5: still reserved, but opening more; g/w mostly gone. DAY 7: quite enjoyable, but now starting to show a touch oxidized. A and I both liked this wine, but that's mostly on the strength of potential; as it drinks today, it's certainly on the quiet and stern side of things. Strong HOLD recommendation.3 people found this helpful Comment
