Community Tasting Note

  March 7, 2024 - Popped up in a local reputable store a few weeks ago for a friggin steal so I couldn’t pass them up…bought the shelf
  
  Tasted tonight with filet and it was a delight; I agree with the previous note stating that the drinking window should be extended, though I think the best time is now.
  
  A very deep garnet color, typical of a 15yr wine. Dried fruit, black fruits, and pencil on the nose. Nicely balanced in the mouth; tannins are moderate yet still grippy but acidity keeps it all together and ends in a long finish. The French oak is present for sure but not overwhelming.
  
  Better than the 2007 I think, although I didn’t have this one young, nor the ‘07 late. Glad I bought the shelf out.
