Community Tasting Note

Thursday, December 26, 2019 - Muuuch better than the previous bottles. This was singing. And not singing quietly in the back. This was Ein Deutsches Requiem by Johannes Brahms. Den alles Fleisch es ist wie Gras in B flat minor. Double choir. Full power.
Crazy intense nose. Bell pepper. Earth. Leather. Brooding. Palate is full bodied. Almost of La La quality (I wanted to open a '05 La Mouline tonight....). This is Côte Roti.
Finish lasts as long as the bridge on the river Kwai.
