Community Tasting Note

oldwines Likes this wine:

Sunday, January 16, 2022 - Purchased from CellarRaiders several years ago, I was not expecting a lot this was curious in that it developed beautifully over time. It was decanted around 4pm and tasted over 3+ hours. Initially it was quite bricked and tight. It was very earthy showing mushroom and cherry and a bitter finish around hour 2 but transformed by hour 3 to a much more rich and dark wine with good texture and red fruited flavors. Really nice at that point with grilled steaks. Another example of how older wines still need decanting and several hours of air…my wife sneered at this when she first tasted it and tossed it down the drain but later it was gulped down with the steak to kudos.
