Community Tasting Note

Tim Heaton Likes this wine:

Thursday, January 11, 2024 - Slow-O for 2 hours; cork broke, but was cleanly salvaged with an Ah-So. I've held this since release, and it's a full ten years on since I opened one. That episode was pretty unsatisfactory as perhaps I had high expectations. Well, time has been a good friend, as this is now elegant, and harmonious. The high-er (15,0%) alcohol is well integrated, as are the very find tannins. Some early tertiary notes have emerged, and the fineness of the ripe tannins are just lovely. No surprise that this begs for food, though I could see where some might prefer it on its own, too. More medium-bodied than anything at this point, so it's quite in my wheelhouse when I consider the whole package. If you've got a few, it's time to check on it, as there's a fair amount of beauty to be found. Easily recommended
