Community Tasting Note

95 Points

Friday, November 6, 2020 - After a blow-out experience with the previous bottle (96 points and one of the best Cos I ever had), I was slightly disappointed with this bottle. It seems like it has closed a little bit at the moment. Even after a 3 hour decant, it remained very tight: the fruit is less powerful on the approach, all the other notes are there but more in the background. On the palate, there is no discussion about the superior quality of this wine. It is so complex, elegant and effortless to drink. The finish is also remarkable. Overall, lovely but I am going to wait a few years for the next bottles.
