Community Tasting Note

tward Likes this wine:

Saturday, October 14, 2017 - Drank very well with grilled steaks. Stored for 7 years in good (dark, seasonal fluctuation from upper 50s to upper 60s F), but not ideal conditions, this is ready to drink. It shows a warm vintage southern Rhone profile, nearly too ripe and intense for my taste (as many of them are these days, like most I've tasted from 2015 so far). Still very nice if lacking complexity in the middle. Plum, baking spices, burnt earth, maybe some violet. It will be interesting to compare with a library bottle I bought from Tablas two years ago that was presumably at ideal cellar conditions until then...
