Community Tasting Note

tanduybui Likes this wine:

Friday, August 18, 2023 - Very drinkable now but on the decline and good window into the past.

Forty four years is a long time, almost two generations. I feel it is important to reflect on this as one assesses this wine. 79 was not a great vintage, it was average but not poor and for this wine to last this long is a great testament to the producer.

Minimal fruit left, what was left was cedar, dried shiitake, and peppery notes. The core was surprisingly sound consisting of fine tannin, delicate structure and refinement, bordering on being thin. Long finish.

Drink asap!
