Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, April 18, 2023 - Decanted initially for 4 hours and drank over 2 nights. The wine wasn't that great on the first night - not much depth, muted black fruit and high tannins. The wine also had a green streak that I associate with Cab Franc and was surprised by given the relatively low proportion of Cab Franc. On the second night the wine was better - the greenness had mellowed out and the wine was much more integrated and the fruit and tannin were more in balance.

I know its entirely too early to drink this wine and I'm hoping its just in a dumb phase. Either way, I'll stash my remaining bottles away and forget about them for a long time.
