2005 Basel Cellars The Alchemist
Community Tasting Note

93 Points
Tuesday, March 24, 2015 - Entering maturity now, this is really special. Needed about two good hours of air to smooth out. Deep and pure fruit material slices through florals, sweet pipe tobacco, and wood notes to make a very seductive palate. Brilliant, dark ruby color with heavy sediment. Nose is entrancing, if a little shy. Plenty of grip in the background of plush tannins. I wish Trey Busch still produced this wine. 5+12+18+8=93
