Community Tasting Note

Friday, December 21, 2018 - Les Barres vertical for 冬至 (Chicago, IL): One of the weaker wines of the lineup to me. Initially, I had some serious problems with this wine, thinking it oxidized (lots of mushroom and browned fruit) and frankly, a bit over the hill, so we set it aside to drink the other bottles (which were great, by the way). At the end of the dinner, I gave this another hit, just to see if it was still as brown and oxidized as it was, and somehow, this picked up some serious freshness. More green, more tart apples, more raciness. Really came into its own, and a lesson about initial impressions.
