Community Tasting Notes 2

November 24, 2017 - Double decanted at 9 am for 6 pm service, still needed time, but even with loads of air it never develops the depth, or fruit, or nose I expect. A very good wine, but I wonder if it will improve.

January 11, 2015 - Double decanted 8 hours before serving. It needed the air. In mag the structure is still overwhelming the fruit a bit, but with 8 hours following decant, it really showed well. Purple with some lightening at the rim, nose beginning to show earthier notes with the mint I often find in Cotta wines, tannins still robust, lively fruit and strong finish. Nice stuff.
