Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, July 26, 2023 - This is a weird one. I had it in my cellar, and figured I better drink it now. I opened it on a Sunday evening, and it was sort of flat and flinty with very little nose.

I sipped an ounce and then put a vacu-vin stopper in it so I could try it later. On Tuesday, I decided to taste it again, and when I pulled the stopper, I got no 'whoosh' and realized that it hadn't been sealed. I tasted it, and wow! It was a different wine. Mature dark fruit, graphite and cedar nose - very balanced acidity.

I drank a glass and then really sealed it up this time and then tried it again on Wednesday. Better still! Lesson here is that this wine really does act like a Bordeaux and needs plenty of time and air to reach its peak.
