Community Tasting Note

97 Points

Thursday, October 19, 2023 - Fathers' Gathering (Q by Peter Chang - Bethesda, Maryland): Youthful expressive nose displaying intense black and blue fruit, crème de cassis, crushed blueberry, latte, a hint of mint, lead pencil, cedar, cabernet floral dust, sweet spices and crushed rocks. Excellent concentration, layers upon layers of intense black and blue fruit, silky and fluid, beautiful balance and detail, perfect amount of acidity, strong mineral, very fine tannins and a long intense black and blue fruit driven mineral finish with a hint of rose at the end. Although it can easily improve for another decade or two, this is starting to drink beautifully. If you find sub $175 at auction, perhaps the wine to buy. Highly recommend.
