Community Tasting Note

Sunday, July 24, 2016 - As stated earlier, definitely a Cab lovers Merlot.
This has dark fruit with a beautiful grapey essence and is super smooth.
Note that this was after four-five hours of air on the second day after being stored on nitrogen overnight.
The first day I drank it after only two hours of air and it was a bit monolithic. Nice, but just lacking the complexity and elegance it showed after four hours of air.
Drinking great now (with a 4-6 hour decant), so if you have many, drink one, but let the others rest for another 2-3 years.

Update 8/3/16: after sitting on nitrogen for 10 days, and being decanted for four hours, it was even better. More complex and memorable.
I raised the score to 95 (from 94), tying it with the 2005 vintage for me. My second Foley Merlot and second winner!
