Community Tasting Note

  • Keith Levenberg wrote: 97 points

    July 30, 2022 - This has been fully mature for awhile now but this might have been my best bottle yet. On the decant the color was surprisingly pale especially knowing what a superfruit beast this used to be, but the aromatics leave no doubt that it still comes fully packed. It's pungent with earthy funk and has such grippy fruit it practically sticks to the roof of your mouth like peanut butter, yet still has a sharp acidic slice. I could almost see myself confusing this for super-old Hermitage if I didn't know what it was.
