Community Tasting Note

• Keith Levenberg wrote: 89 points

  June 1, 2023 - Well, everyone loves to talk about how good the 2017s are to drink right now, and this one is fine, but not as good as it was on release. It's juicy and piercing and still holding on to some CO2 gas. Otherwise it's smooth and streamlined without much tannin to speak of. The fruit is dark-toned, all blue and black fruits, with a lightly stony undercurrent.

  I have a 2017 and a 2019, so maybe it's time for the 2017 soon...
