Community Tasting Note

70 Points
Thursday, July 13, 2023 - Based on the other tasting notes this has to be a flawed bottle. The initial taste isn't awful but the aftertaste is horrid. I'd call it medicinal at best and it won't dissipate. 5 minutes later and it's still at the back of my mouth, even water won't get rid of it. Poured down the drain. Ugh, even 70 points is a stretch.

Scoring a bottle that is actually flawed (outside the norm for a wine) leads to unreliable numerical ratings, and defeats the value of CT scoring.
