Community Tasting Note

srh Likes this wine:

Monday, August 3, 2020 - Cf. the CellarTracker Article link [lower lft] to get specific info for this vintage, including acclaim.

N: Slightly closed; Flowers, grapefrt, & hints of spice, all nicely melded

P: Med body; NICE, SWTISH frt beautifully counterbalanced by acidity (with hints of varietal bitterness), the entire pkg seeming to build into the LONG, TANGY/swt (60:40) finish with the very, VERY slight bitterness offering an interesting counterpoint. The balance of this is EXTRAORDINARY, though I did notice the var bitterness coming forward as it warmed. Once again went well with the night's cuisine, which was very similar to that of my 10/25/19 TN. My EXC-/EXC, & should continue providing pleasure into '23, probably longer. // Day 3: Aromatically, fragrant flowers slightly atop grapefrt with distinct spiciness. P has held nicely, working well with various leftovers. [As of mid Aug '20, wine-searcher still shows 4 sources @ $54-$56, + 2 distinctly higher outliers].

Note: 1st tasted on 10/25/19.
