Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, June 16, 2021 - An excellent bottle of wine. At Bobby Van's 54th Street with two senior bank officers for an emerge from COVID steak dinner. Pop, decant and pour because we chose to drink this one before the 2003 Mordoree. It needed air, and after a first sip, I told the others to swirl vigorously and hold off for a few minutes. Worth the wait. Still not at its peak but it's getting there. Berry flavors with a real strong spicy roasted backbone that gave the wine extra depth and complexity, but very smooth and easy to drink. Started drinking this with the thick cut apple wood smoked bacon appetizer and it went very well together. You can wait on this but if you have multiple bottles, I suggest that you open one now and give it a 2 hour decant.
