Community Tasting Notes 20

  February 4, 2021 - Quite excellent. Notes of cherry, strawberry, spice and earth. Absolutely no stewed fruit. Delicious with our Indian food, especially the tandoori chicken.
  
  Bigger and better than the 2011 we had the night before.

  June 16, 2019 - Don't know if there's substantial bottle variation, but my experience was very different than some of the previous posters. Rich strawberry fruit, to be sure, but no stewiness or portiness. And the richness is somehow all frontloaded; the snappy finish leaves only a light memory of strawberries. Delicious.

  December 16, 2018 - Both bottles were way too overripe. All that was left is stewed fruit. Almost Port like. The clos Pepe from the same vintage was absolutely singing. However this was far from it.

  June 24, 2014 - well balanced, smooth and ready to drink. The nose continued to become more expressive and complex after qa couple hours open.
