Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, June 18, 2013 - Akin to meeting the Queen of England - the bottle felt like royalty.

It was in perfect condition. A slight tear in the cork upon opening and you could tell how well made it was from the first pour. Great color, a tad light but beautiful.

The nose was amazing and lasted the entire trip. On the palate fruit was still there and everybody thought the wine continued to open up for the first 15-20 minutes. Nicely balanced and even at this ripe old age, it ended strong and stayed with you for at least a minute +.

A great experience.
