Community Tasting Note

Thursday, November 10, 2022 - "The mind is willing, but the flesh is weak" (Chicago, IL): In contrast to the 2015 which should not have been opened, the 2008 is showing quite mature, and for my palate, in a very good spot to drink now. Lots and lots of salinity, this feels thin and lacks the weight and concentration of the better vintages. Effectively resolved at this point, the tannins are present but silky. Some savoury tones on the finish. Not one that I think would have huge upside with further aging, but there's certainly no rush to open them now either -- I just don't think they're going to get appreciably better from where they are right now.
