Community Tasting Notes 109

    February 19, 2024 - 2 hours slow ox. Consumed over next 2 hours. Loads of black fruits but the 3% white grapes add a distinct but integrated layer of salinity, citrus and melon. Some vanilla creme /Oak. 40 second finish. 15.7% alcohol is fully integrated and not noticeable - until you finish the bottle.

    December 4, 2021 - 1+ hour decant. A very interesting wine where 3% of white rhone grapes really punch through the black and red fruits, especially on the finish. 58 months of French Oak and an 15.7% alcohol are quite a combination. This bottle was not quite as good as my last, but I still love this California spin on Côte-Rôtie (although not the 98 Parker points level of love).

    October 3, 2021 - Everything we look for in a wine. Body, nose, color. All perfection. An incredibly special wine that took us completely by surprise (though we have ranked it highly earlier). Outstanding.

    August 29, 2021 - Opened 8 hours before dinner, and decanted for 6 hours with a second decant right before dinner. Open and concentrated, great structure, deep color with no hint of fading, luscious black fruits, blackberries, currant, a hint of cedar in the background, graphite, tannin fully integrated, smooth with a sensation of sweetness, no alcohol heat at all. At least 10 more years of life ahead of it. My first bottle of the vintage, and I will wait several years before the next one.
