Community Tasting Note

Saturday, September 12, 2020 - So this has always been one of my favorite wines, but not on this occasion. Probably a flawed bottle. Not undrinkable, and certainly not corked, but certainly a little oxidized. The taste was better than the port like smell. Purchased in 2000, and stored in a temperature controlled cellar ever since. My experience with Insignia is that the bottles age for many many decades with no problem, but occasionally you get a bottle like this that breaks the norm. I would give it 90 points reluctantly, but no more. Very sad.
