Community Tasting Note

anthroman Likes this wine:

Thursday, August 31, 2023 - Gave this a 90-minute decant before diving in. At first, the nose had ripe raspberries, plums, some sweet earth, and vanilla in the background. Palate was less open, showing some red fruits and juicy acidity. Definitely got some of the allspice that Nutty08 mentions below.

After about 2 1/2 hours open, the vanilla became toasty oak that dominated the nose and palate. By the last glass, you could tell the wine was trying to integrate but wasn't there yet. There's a nice wine here with good depth, but on tonight's showing it appears to be in an awkward phase. If I had more bottles I'd be holding them for at least the medium term.
