Community Tasting Note

Friday, October 8, 2021 - A Tour de Force 'Best Bottle' Tasting (Republique, Los Angeles): I brought this to pair with a 1964, and did so despite my last bottle having been marred by substantial VA and subdued fruit. No such issues here, especially with time. Stunning from the get-go, spot-on, evolved but not advanced, with smoky dark fruit notes, tar, anise, saddle leather and subtle oak notes. Imagine the texture of liquid velvet. Like its 1964 brethren, it began to dry out a bit after an hour or so. What a flight!
