Community Tasting Note

Monday, June 10, 2013 - I'm not rating this - it could be anywhere from 88 - 92. There is nothing wrong with the wine, but my sense is that the earlier vintages - '06 and '07 specifically - were more interesting. There is nothing special about this bottle from this vintage. When I first stumbled on the '06 and '07 this was a wine just returning to its former glory and it was a super QPR. Now, just a few years down the line it is more expensive and while still good, I think the QPR is no longer there.
I think a vertical tasting is in order. Probably won't happen soon, but it will happen.
