Community Tasting Note

Teddyfreezeout Likes this wine:

Thursday, June 8, 2023 - Opened up beautifully and to my absolute astonishment after 90 minutes in the bottle. If this seems DOA please do yourself a favor and give it some time and a chance to wake up after 56 years! The acidity and tannins slowly revealed themselves and then hit an apex with bursting acidity, dark fruit, black cherry, black licorice and a long, complex finish of spice and black licorice that fully coats the palate. Vegetal nose that evolved into notes of tar, prunes, fig, floral and tobacco.

It was quite a rush to experience the wine improve with each sip. Beyond belief, there was still buzzing minerality. At one point I jotted down “Ripe blueberry - are you kidding me?!”
