Community Tasting Note

Saturday, February 5, 2022 - I've been skipping over this bottle for years when rifling through the cellar looking for something to open. While I love Scott's Torrin wines, they consistently rank among my favorites from the area, it is the vintage I am not a fan of. This bottle showed in line with my expectations: Large scaled, with deep, fleshy, super-ripe fruit bordering on too sweet, smoky barrel notes, and those clunky tannins that seem to be a signature of the vintage. There's tons of meat on these bones, but the bones protrude nonetheless. My overall impression is of a massive, high-quality, fruit-forward wine that is out of balance and still disjointed 12+ years post-harvest. My last '09... so glad that's over.
