Community Tasting Note

Big Juicy Red Likes this wine:

Wednesday, March 31, 2021 - It’s been really interesting to see how these age (and as of tonight, there are still 600+ remaining in people’s cellars!). My last bottle was in Nov 2019, at which time I thought it was still a bit angular. That’s not a problem any more. It’s still a big, bold wine, but with velvety smooth, fine-grained tannins and noticeable vanilla (probably from the oak). Fruit is fading a bit, but still present. Secondary characteristics are not yet ascendant. Quite pleasant and easy to drink, with just a bit bite of alcohol (it is 14.5%, after all).

I’ve got 2 more left, and I’ll probably drink them sooner rather than later, although this could still age for another couple of years.
