Community Tasting Note

Thursday, November 13, 2014 - Still tight, with primary and secondary flavors dominant. Fruit, spice, oak. Well balanced, as I usually find Billo's wine. Still too young and reticent. Hold and wait. Patience will likely be rewarded with a better wine in a couple of years. (Really a note to remind myself to wait. I keep checking in on these too early.)

Tasting good, yes, but even it feels like there will be more to come. So, I'm willing to check in every couple of years or so, unless there is strong feedback on the forum one way or another from someone whose perspectives/palate seem in close proximity to my own. Hope that helps.

My oldest Rasa is an 09 QED which I followed over a few days before it became too oxidized. These seem to be big wines (and I know 09 was hot). Appreciate your input.
