Community Tasting Note

Rich.Herbs Likes this wine:

Monday, January 16, 2017 - Nice currant odor wafting during decanting and aeration. Unfortunately, the fruit was short lived and a elegantly balanced mixture of muted fruit, cedar, and earthy spice dominated my evening's slow consumption, rounded off with a good tannic kick. It's hard not to show reverence for this wine's pedigree and age, but despite my focused attention, the wine's narrow band of operation did not impress me as much as I'd hoped. And an occasional slight chalky acidity puzzled me. Is the subdued fruit a sign of old age? Or the tannic kick and acid a sign of vigor? I'm hoping for the latter and give my remaining bottles a 2 or 3 year respite.
