Sunday, January 21, 2024 - This was my wine selection to celebrate my 24th anniversary in this great country, in other words, I'm celebrating my 24th birthday!
Having had this wine a few years ago at the winery and giving it 100pts (I have given a perfect score to only 2 wines in my life) I was expecting more out of this magnum… maybe 102pts…
Anyways, here is the experience today, the wine is medium plus, during the first 10-15 min it was a bit acidic and tannic with green pepper notes and smoke, by minute 30+ it came together, the acidity settled down and the greenish notes went away, very good harmony, and the best part was the super long and persistent finish.
100pts wine, not today. There are perfect bottles of wine but there are not perfect wine. Many factors play a role on giving out a perfect score, company, food, environment, “the moon”, you name it. So today I was let down for creating unrealistic expectations…
