Community Tasting Note

91 Points

Monday, January 2, 2023 - Medium bodied, traditional styling, 1.5"/38mm aggregate cork in good shape.

Bright mountain blue and blackberries, violets, spiced meats, fresh tea leaves. Balanced... this is light on its feel while being mouthcoating and persistent.

In a great place today, the fruit is delineated and any stemmy purple baby fat has been left behind. It's on the fresher side, and I suspect in 5-7 years it will become a bit more gamey while holding on to the berries. 91 today, and likely 92+ by 2030.
