Saturday, December 27, 2014 - Looking back at my tasting note from several years ago, I see I had a lot to learn about wine. :)

This wine is terrific! Ponderous and wonderful, needs about 30 minutes to really open up and lose the initial barnyard elements. Floral and spicy depending on the cheese pairing, becomes juicier and more ripe than I recall from past tastings of this vintage. Superb. Still got a few years left at least.
