Community Tasting Note

Friday, January 19, 2024 - Cork in good shape, good fill. A burnt orange sort of color suggested this might be over the hill, and the first sip seemed to confirm - dull, tertiary flavors, a hit of upfront sweetness and VA, and insufficient cut to carry it through. Not to worry, as it blooms and shakes off the musty aromas with about 20 minutes of air in the glass. Aromas of peach/apricot and sugar. High viscosity, halfway to motor oil, showing a complex array of salted caramel, grilled nuts, apricot and honey. Could use a touch more amplitude in the midpalate, but the finish is clean and long, with a tangy laser beam of invigorating citric-type acid. An hour in, and the wine is still improving - sadly, didn’t have the chance to follow over the full evening - I suspect it still had some legs to blossom further!
