Community Tasting Note

Friday, February 16, 2024 - Cork quality was off the charts and looked like it could've supported this bottle's evolution for decades. Zero seepage. Drank without food. Bought at winery in 2018 and stored optimally since then.

PnP...magnetic medium strength nose of dark fruits with a hint of oak. On the palate, for the first two hours it seemed tight and very structured and only finally loosened a bit after 2 hours. It had medium acidity and body and the flavor had some black cherry peek out towards the end. The fruit spectrum was a bit quiet.

Certainly, decant for 2 hours and maybe four hours. I think this can last another 10 years, but I only had that one bottle so won't be able to experiment. With the shortage of fruit flavors, I'm not sure if extra time will make those appear though, so that's a risk. Today, it was a more of a masculine, intellectual wine versus one that's more joyful and tasty to drink. Clearly a well made mine! Scoring a 91, which is in the middle of Excellent.

Just looked at other CT tasting notes and it seems I should've waited until year 20 to open this, but even then maybe no guarantees I would've enjoyed it more.
