Community Tasting Note

Savannahman Likes this wine:

Thursday, November 26, 2015 - I have done some research on this wine so let me start with that. I have read reviews from many talking about the availability of this wine and questioning the claim of only 825 bottles made. The fact is, there are several batches that have been made of this wine, 825 bottles per batch. On the bottle and the box it will say 46-1, 46-2 etc. Designating the batch number. According to my research as many as 13 batches have been made to date .The wine is preserved in tanks with nitrogen between batches as there are sometimes years between the release of one batch to the next.

The wine is spectacular. Like nothing I have tasted. Dark, inky black in the glass. The first note is of Fig with apricot, plum, molasses, dried dark fruit and hints of citrus with dark chocolate and mocha. Real difficult to get a handle on, my palate is just not that sharp. Drank about 1/4 of the bottle, looking forward to drinking and discovering everything hidden here over the next several months (or years) as I understand this wine, although made from 65 year old fruit is ageless in the bottle.
