Community Tasting Note

98 Points

Friday, October 4, 2013 - Fruit a little less exhuberant but still a remarkable wine. 1-mm edge with a sweet-sour charcutier smokiness, showing off luscious clove and cherry, inviting comments about its luscious energy. As before, probably still the best young Taylor I've yet tasted, with that scorching heat and, again, pure energy. At 30-plus hours, still holding plenty back, and how can one quibble with this ridiculous price. This is the last of the Heidelberg el-cheapo lot, any more he finds going out at a well-deserved $90 per. Thanks to Eric for inviting me on this downhill ski-ride. 98-99/100
