Community Tasting Note

Saturday, December 11, 2021 - OK, this is crazy. With no planning on my part, I am opening a bottle exactly one year after the last one on 12/11/2020. This time I put it in the decanter mid-afternoon. Two hours later as I prep dinner, it still shows flinty, but not aggressively so. The crunchy fruit and delicate spice have room to shine. The wine starts with a preview of richness, but it’s held in check by bright acidity. There is a tiny bit of roundness on the finish, but it’s more like a delicate sanding off the edges. I really wish I had bought a lot of this wine.
