Community Tasting Note

• Mark wrote: 91 points

  August 28, 2005 - I’m actually very impressed, I was concerned that the 96 might have peaked, but I was blown away by a great Chard at it’s peak. The nose seems fat with light butter vanilla pear and exotic fruits. After about thirty minutes, the nose did seem to recede somewhat, but in the mouth it’s intense. Same flavors, but with added lemon zest and more exotic fruits. It’s very full in the mouth and finish with a medium length on the finish. The oak is well integrated. I’ve usually found that the Red Shoulder tends to peak out at around 7 years, so it’s great to see some vintages that go beyond.
