Community Tasting Note

Monday, February 26, 2024 - Really good, but still needs time. Opened this alongside an older Burgundy to decide which we wanted to take to dinner out. This was tight as nails upon opening and I felt that even a decant would not be sufficient, so after a taste I replaced the cork firmly into the bottle and returned to it two nights later. After those two days under re-cork it had softened quite a bit and was drinking well. Even so, it was fairly tannic at first, opening a bit more over the course of the evening. I definitely don't find the excessive alcohol noted below, but can see how it could peak through if the wine was quite closed otherwise and not given enough air and time. Good cherry fruit with a firm tannic spine and sufficient acidity to carry the fruit flavors. Revisit in 3-5 years, should hold considerably longer.
