Community Tasting Note

Sunday, February 24, 2013 - Pretty easily I think my wine of the year to this point. This is simply outstanding in every way, from thelight violet hue, to the ethereal nose of dark fruits, spice and earth, to the palate, on which a myriad of flavors battle for your attention. Simply stunning. The fruit is pure as it gets, not overly concentrated, just fresh and big, but the size of it is well kept in bounds by a cornucopia of spice and earth elements. A 40 second finish, and lively acidity caps off this nearly perfect wine. At $40, this is an unbelievable bargain, especially for a wine which comes from vines planted in the 1850's, all pre-phylloxera. Unquestionably a producer to watch, and since the wines are quite limited, better jump on them while you can.
