Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, November 28, 2018 - At Piccolo Sogno in Chicago with Todd G, this was my contribution for the evening. Decanted at the restaurant, sat for about 30 minutes, drank over an hour.

Medium/dark garnet. Nose showing dark fruits, graphite and herbs, but a bit flat. Palate showing dark fruits, earth notes, mushroom, baking spice. This was showing well early, shut down for a bit. We revisited later, it was good but lacking the depth I remember in prior bottles. I would describe it as a little dried out - the opposite of where I thought it would be an hour+ in.

May be an off bottle and may need more air time to fully open. Will try with next bottle . I am a huge fan of Verite, this bottle had a disapointing showing on this evening
