Community Tasting Note

surfnturf Likes this wine:

Monday, May 17, 2021 - One of the finest wines I've ever enjoyed. This was purchased from the producer by a member a few years back and opened on the 11th with a 1991 counterpart of identical provenance.

Cork in good shape, saturation up about halfway. Bottom of cork separated as it was coming out but retrieved with no disintegration.

On the nose this is still vibrant and showing the old school red fruit Napa Valley style with just a hint of cherry tomato and aging oak dust hinting at its seniority.

On the palate this is an ethereal wine, just a little more than light + body as this point but bringing a just barely still tart strawberry acid but showing all kinds of unique leather and toast notes.

This is peaking right now and after 2 hours open started to round into a less concentrated version. Flirting with perfection and needs to be drunk within 3-5 years to see best results.
