Community Tasting Note

Sunday, August 21, 2022 - Wowsers! This was stellar, and I have precisely no idea why. It has always been pretty solid, but it has hit new heights with this 10th bottle of 12. Dark red. Drinking beautifully, this was just superb. Cedar, tobacco and leather integrated perfectly with deep cassis and plum, it was rich and succulent, lip-smackingly delicious. It struck a perfect balance between being distinctively aged claret yet also vibrant and juicy - just singing. I simply don't understand how one bottle can have barely any fruit left (08/2021), and then another from the same case can be so outstandingly fresh and alive. I am almost scared to open #11! (but I know I will, and soon)
