Community Tasting Note

DickMull Likes this wine:

Friday, March 13, 2020 - Even better than last year. After a 4 hour decant, it still had a touch of Brett/funk/earth, which actually complimented the dark fruit, ash, and leather on the nose. More dark fruit flavors cascaded over the palate, which was incredibly balanced with muted acidity, muted tannins, and subtle earthiness. It was a powerful wine, but not overly so. The only (tiny) flaw was that the finish was a bit on the short side, but that’s not unusual for a 30 year old wine. While I don’t think this will improve a whole lot more, it will certainly last another 10-20 years. I’m not sure whether it was bottle variation or the longer decant, but it did seem much more approachable than it did last year.
