Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 18, 2014 - My last bottle from this batch, this wine had a gold center and clear rims. The medium intensity nose displayed lemons, marzipan, dried fruit, and soil.

In the mouth this wine was ripe and viscous with a nice mouth-feel. The acidity and length were good but not mind blowing. It seemed to lack a bit of grip compared to the other bottle tasted recently. Then, I realized I had not given it enough air and, sure enough, the acidic grip built up after hour 3 and balanced the wine out. While very good, it doesn't seem likely to provide competition for the '83 and '86.

A nice wine at its peak.
