Community Tasting Note

Friday, September 3, 2021 - I had this about a year ago and I definitely do not recall this being as closed as it was tonight. Decanted 500 ml and left the rest in bottle, the decanter definitely helped this one out. This always showed a bit of reduction but less reduced out of the decanter. The front palate also showed a bit more out of the decanter. Initially black cherry and tarry but with air, this became redder in fruit. But man was this dry and tannic. Very peppery, dark minerals, medium-full body, meatiness. This was not about elegance at all. Chewy, mouth-drying tannins. No sense of new oak on this. Will improve with time.
