Community Tasting Note

97 Points

Friday, December 31, 2021 - Strong, strong ruby, with no orange at the rim. Actually sticks to the glass after 32 years. Rich core of ripe red fruit, surrounded by iron and minerals. Super expressive and impressive in the mouth, quite opulent and velvety smooth, but at the same time massive in weight and richness, and the finish goes on forever. Has some beautiful mocha, cocoa and chocolate, as well as creme de cassis, menthol and even a bit medicinal. It is the massive weight and the never-ending finish that puts this in a league of its own. First time I remember tasting this, and worth the wait. 5-14-19-9: 97/100.
