Community Tasting Note

Friday, August 6, 2021 - Reading back on other reviews I honestly think there might have been weird production problems. There is inconsistent quality among the reviews. My own experience has been abysmal until this bottle. I still have 3 more in my cellar and I asked myself why am I keeping this when it has been awful every time? So I opened another fully expecting the same experience.

But no this bottle is different. Which makes me think there was something that happened somewhere along the process that ruined only a portion of the production and not the other portion.

This bottle has all the characteristics that the others had in the beginning: complexity, balance, fruit, some wood, excellent nose but high alcohol. The problem was the rest of them fell apart. This bottle is showing extremely well, after 16 years, is that what it took to blow off the problems, or are some bottes just flawed and others fine?

This bottle is starting to fade after an hour but not a lot.

Too many questions unanswered. For now, I will simply enjoy. If anyone still has some, try it.
