Community Tasting Note

71 Points
Sunday, October 12, 2014 - Vinegar and earth on the nose. Quite sour, earthy, with fine tannins. Had it with bbq pork ribs, which didn't help with the flavor. Had it without any food later, and it was worse. Unfortunately, I have 2 more bottles.

Possibly it's a disgrace to own two bottles more of this 71.
Cheers!
