Community Tasting Note

ageverett Likes this wine:

Friday, October 16, 2015 - Took to dinner. Was decanted for about an hour prior to drinking.

Incredibly expressive nose. Purple fruit. Very floral, almost perfumed (in a good way). Great bouquet. Reminded me of a Dr. Crane profile - very much St. Helena. This was a lean, medium weight on the palate. Lush and opulent. Very smooth finish. Tannins already well integrated.

This was super tasty, but played second fiddle to the 2012 Schrader GIII in overall deliverables and complexity. Wouldn't be scared to open this in the near term - performed nicely with minimal air.
