Community Tasting Note

JeffGMorris Likes this wine:

Monday, July 13, 2015 - Dinner at Bida Manda with Mom. Deep Amber in color. This bottling has always been spectacular but oddly bottles seem to vary as to whether the Rangen or Gewurz characteristics come to the front. Tonight it was Gewurz first and Rangen second. Beautiful spice and lychee mix with Rangen peat and minerality. While certainly not dry the very high level of residual sugar is well concealed and washed off the palate by high acid levels. A bit of Gewurz roughness on the palate ( a plus ). This may be entering a slightly muted phase from which it will certainly emerge or maybe this bottle is just a little shy compared to previous bottles. This is a very relative statement as this is a very flamboyant wine even with what I'm calling muted. I think I'll keep my hands off of these for 5 years and drink other vintages but do I have the discipline to do so??? 50+14+13+8.5+8.5=94
