Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 87.3 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 3 notes)

 Tasted by amred on 12/27/2007 & rated 83 points: This has deteriorated somewhat in the last year or so. A bit chemical on the nose, the fruit seems diminished, and it's taken on a more acidic chemical nature. I don't have much confidence in the last several bottles. (265 views)
 Tasted by Johann Von Mastiff on 11/10/2006 & rated 88 points: medium ruy red in color. Still somewhat vibrant on the nose. The pallate lacked a bit of substance for me. Not a bad drink, but not that exciting as well. (580 views)
 Tasted by amred on 10/16/2002 & rated 91 points: 7/00: Good shiraz,more Rhone-like, not as syrupy as some. Not ready, but very good. (679 views)
