Community Tasting Note

Friday, March 19, 2021 - Oops, I drank my two bottles of this wine. Might try to pick up another, because I would love to drink this in a decade or two.
Similar to my last note, except this time the wine opened up with several hours of air and became more expressive, rather than tighter. Cameron funk, dark berries, iron, tobacco, earth.
For me, this has all the best qualities of a "big" wine in terms of density and plush mouthfeel, without any of the failings of being too ripe - i.e. there's nothing jammy or heavy about it. It's like a maglev train: Obviously powerful and big but gliding effortlessly along as if by magic.
Really good stuff and a big step up from the Dundee Hills (though also a big step up in price). Makes me realize that, for all the Cameron I drink, I've never splurged on the SVDs. That may have to change.
