Community Tasting Notes 5

April 2, 2023 - Absolutely delicious! Deep purple with rich nose and vibrant red cabernet fruit. Tannins have largely dissipated. Very long finish. Drinking beautifully now and even more impressive than it was in 2019. I suspect it is near its peak. Consume over the next 5 years. Fortunate to own this true hidden gem!

October 13, 2021 - Medium tannins, definitely should have decanted. Very nice wine, went very well with our pasta dinner. The 2022 end date for the community is still very off. This wine has at least 10 more good years ahead, so suggested 2032.

August 9, 2020 - A very nice wine, but lacking a little in depth...thinking that it may be a little past prime drinking time.
