Community Tasting Note

Zoso Likes this wine:

Tuesday, January 17, 2023 - One of the things I’ve learned about drinking an older Quilceda is that they still can evolve in a positive way over the course of many hours. So be patient.
To begin I am stunned first by the rich color. If judging the age from color alone, no one is suggesting 15 years old. Nose is another thing all together. Definitely picking up some notes of cigar box, damp earth, and tea. On the palate it is an absolute beast in a good way. Great texture and overall balance excellent although early on tannin was formidable but not overwhelming. This wine is fresh with plenty of acidity as well. My concerns about tannin subsided as about 6-8 ounces saved in the re-corked bottle poured the next day revealed a wine with outstanding harmony and class. Nose continues to be the star and it’s purity really shines. Great wine! Wish I had more 07! Won’t be surprised to see notes over the next 10-15 years. 95+
