Community Tasting Note

Saturday, August 4, 2012 - Decanted for two hours, consumed over the next two hours. Unlike the prior bottle this was not at all oxidized and remained totally fresh and vivacious. Started out extremely closed at cellar temperature. Some minerality but not much else. Only reached its full potential at room temperature around hour 3.5. Key lime, basil, menthol and salted butter on the nose. The wine unfolds across the tongue with the same flavors, with an acidic vibration throughout. Finish spreads laterally across the back of the tongue and up the throat. Would gladly let this mellow for another ten years if the premox issue wasn't such a "crap-shoot," as a prior taster put it. Excellent wine.
