Community Tasting Note

Friday, February 18, 2022 - Tasted blind, this wine had been given 5+ hours of decanter time. It had a deep red center with light red/orange rims. The medium intensity nose of cola, violets, black cherry, and minerals was quite attractive.

In the mouth, it was clear this was not a hot vintage wine. It was ripe but not particularly rich. It had very nice balance, rounded tannin, and just a tiny touch of an edge that said 1988. It had excellent acidity and length.

THis is in the zone but will easily last 10 years. It reminds me a bit of the '66 which still tastes great if you can find a well stored bottle. Could it pick up a point?
