Community Tasting Note

95 Points

Saturday, June 10, 2023 - I looked at the tasting notes below with trepidation as I have 2 of these left, now only 1. I opened a bottle last night at the Wine Watch and drank against Dunn 1997, 2005 Bordeaux, and Paul Hobbs and it may have been the wine of the evening. Decanted for 1 hour and the best of this Merlot came through. One person said it was the best QC of anything he drank and this is what you hope for from the Right Bank. The structure, color, acidity and fruit were still intact, very enjoyable and open for business over the 2 hours we drank it. Be prepared for a Merlot with good extraction, lots of structure, with a lot of age but still showing some signs of youth. I have 1 more left and I will drink it this year. Why wait for a great wine to go bad.
