Community Tasting Note

Thursday, July 21, 2022 - Records not handy. Bought 12b case 17-18 years ago for less than 35/b, very likely from Sam's or Binny's; this is #3 or 4. Crumbly cork but extracted in one piece. Decanted with normal sediment for its age. Bit of amber hue to the otherwise purple color; mature blackcurrant, mature black plum that follow on the palate, good mouthfeel; some persistence. Noticeable fade two hours in. Solid performer from an underrated vintage; should hold well for at least a few more years and glad to have more. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. Quality, price, age: Notable+.
