Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, January 14, 2020 - I opened, poured and paired with a pasta + vegetable dish. I expect a wine at this price point to be “pop-and-pour” worthy. After dinner, I.e., ~45 minutes, the nose is finally emerging. Tea and flowers, some vanilla mainly on the nose, though it was mute for a long time. Light on the palate. Good balance and good with food. Medium tannins; medium + acidity on the finish. I heard good things about this on a podcast, but will likely not buy again. I’ll put 1/2 bottle back in the cellar and check again tomorrow night.

The wine is aged in oak for 2 years, and can therefore be compared to a barolo which only has to age 18 months in oak. I usually decant it for 2-4 hours before drinking.
