Community Tasting Note

Sunday, October 18, 2020 - Not really digging this bottle. Youthful, superficial without much going for it. There are sappy red fruits and a bit of earth on the nose - promising. The palate is overly tannic and tight with a tremendously bitter, palate searing finish. This will either be great in 20 years or it’s a hot mess. I am putting my money on the latter. I have a bunch left so will be interesting to follow. I’m thinking this is destined for stew. (83?)

After the poor showing, I put a cork in the bottle and came back 4 days later. The wine has improved but still has some flaws. Gone are the harsh tannins. Things have rounded a bit but seems a bit superficial. If you have some bottles, I say open well m advance. May improve with 3-4 years of cellaring. (87)
