Community Tasting Note

88 Points

Saturday, July 22, 2017 - This was denser and heavier than I was expecting and for my palate, is showing quite heavy handed oak which throws everything off. Drank over 2 days and while it improved a bit, it fell well short of my expectations for this producer and other reviews. There is cleary some lovely underlying fruit but it was lacking real cool climate personality and was completely swallowed by the oak. Might try another to see but likely the rest may be off to auction.
