Community Tasting Note

Thursday, December 29, 2016 - Vibrant, almost youthful red color. Almost no fading. Kind of stunning at age 52. Smells of rose petals and hints of leather and iron. The palate is alive with tart cranberry fruit and a candied baking spice note that rides along with wisps of acid and dusty tannins. This wine is all about finesse and balance right now. It is totally sound, showing no signs of falling off and it drank well well over the course of two hours open. With bites of leftover cold Pepe's pizza the wine really sang. Very strong and blew away the '73 that was also on the table.
