Community Tasting Note

Saturday, September 23, 2023 - Gave it 2 hours to open and the nose is very expressive with floral and terroir. got a glass here now, and the palate does not catch up with the promise of the nose. there is some fruit here and good structure but nothing that says "wow". I was hoping for more to be honest.
2nd night after reserving in the bottle is a much different story. The nose is diminutive and the palate is delicious. Lots of soft dark fruit, a little chocolate and cigar. I should have rated it higher. The moral to the story is that if you intend to drink now, then decant for the better part of the day in order to enjoy this wine.
