Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, September 4, 2019 - BYO at RPM Steak - Chicago a month ago. An overtly opulent riche bottle for an overtly opulent riche restaurant. Gift Cards and gifted bottle, don't shake me down for money. A tremendous wine, the best kind of Bob Parker wine. Sultry, resonant, good lift to its thunder. Extremely dark, this truly is still rather primary in a lot of its features, but there are no hard edges here either. When to drink it? It's tough telling, it did not expose any fragility of any type, but it does have tenderness. Would have liked to have spent a day two or beyond with this, but not possible in this environment. Great wine, my second 90's La La - both extremely satisfying and among the highest rating I've given any wine. Sometimes with as much as others love such a unfathomably broad spectrum of taste profiles - I often say that "I guess I don't like wine as much as they do". Here, I believe that if you can't see the greatness of bottles like this, you don't like wine nearly enough. Great.
