Community Tasting Note

srh Likes this wine:

Sunday, November 10, 2019 - Cf. the CellarTracker Article link [lower lft] to get specific info re the acclaim for this vintage.

≈60 min decant into a cylindrical plastic pitcher which was then closed; NO sediment; Private Preserve after Day 1

N: RIPE blkberries with CHOC + notes of savory iron & undertones of a general minerality

P: Med body; RNDISH entry with NICE, ALMOST swtish frt met by an astringent pucker which stays in contact with the init frt as it fairly seamlessly transitions into a LONG finish with a TANGY/swtness (60:40) to the firming, relatively unoffensive, dusty tannins. // Day 3: Drinking at LEAST as nicely as I'd anticipated! ∑: 14% ABV; My EXC-/EXC, easily trending towards the higher based upon the $13.99 pd for it several yrs ago, + I can see it providing enjoyment into '21. [As of mid Nov '19, wine-searcher still shows 3 sources from $16-$20].

Note: Also tasted on 7/16/19
