Community Tasting Note

Monday, January 24, 2011 - I am sorry but I have to ask, how does RP judge now that this wine is or will be 99, or WS 96 for that matter. It will be a great wine... in 20 - 30 years. My second daughter was born in 2003 and this might just be ready for her 21st (for me not her - I'lll need it by then). Back to the wine, I'd call it a rough diamond, there are hints all around that it has something great coming, but it is just too tight and too tanic to score any higher now than I have. In fact it was almost 89. It will reach the heights that are predicted of it, the tanin's will subside and the fruit will open and become balanced. It has some cedar on it that will enhance the darker fruits when they fight their way through. If you have 6 or more, drink one now, drink another in 10 years and really enjoy it in 20. If you only have 1 or 2 keep it deep in the back of your cellar where you cannot be tempted by its current ratings and professional reviews.
