Community Tasting Note
Wink Likes this wine:
93 Points
Thursday, April 4, 2013 - After Jay Miller gave this wine a score of 98 in the Wine Advocate, I went out hunting for bottles. I could only locate one, as the others had been scarfed up. It has been in my cellar ever since. I could keep my hands off this bottle no longer, so I opened it tonight. And it is really, really good. 98 points? I don't think so. But I wouldn't fault Jay's enthusiasm. Dark, nearly opaque garnet. Nose of dust, licorice, cedar, and dark fruits. Full palate of ripe dark fruit (blackberry, currant, plum), spice, and licorice. Excellent length. Vibrant, focused, mouthwatering acidity. Youthful tannins. Integrated oak. High alcohol barely noticeable. I really wish I had more bottles.

Fully agreed. This wine is unforgetable.
