Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, August 3, 2021 - Sometimes a wine just catches you by surprise. Opened a bottle a year ago but, given the beginning of lockdowns etc, didn't have the patience others on here had to wait until the second day.

Tonight, acidic and unexpressive on opening but with something promising and animal on the nose. About an hour in it is a completely different wine. Animal musk still there, but now coupled with something truffly, floral. Tobacco. Dark fruit in the background and a saline (olive) finish. One of those wines where all these elements mesh into a hard-to-delineate whole. In fact I'm not sure I've had one where the nose so seamlessly becomes the palate. Leaves a fragrance in the mouth that left me contemplating in silence.
