Community Tasting Note

Thursday, August 20, 2020 - Patio dinner with Neeta and Manoj (Chez Walker - Princeton, NJ): Good excuse to check in on this one. With the main course...eggplant rollatini and chicken margherita from Gennaro's. Decanted 2 hours prior to drinking.

Dark garnet color, slight separation at the edges. Ripe and expressive nose showing red fruits, raspberry, tobacco, minerals. Palate is ripe and deep...showing black cherry, rhubarb, cedar(?). Still a firm and energetic wine at 15 years. Full body, long and layered finish.

Great showing on this evening. Classic Oakville profile. Was great pairing with our Italian dishes...although a steak might have been better for this wine...:) This still has a long arc ahead of it. Great stuff
