Community Tasting Note

  November 25, 2022 - This looks a bit like the emperor's new clothes...
  This wine is clearly well past its peak and comes across tired with limited interest at this point.
  It showed better a few years ago when I last tried it, but was disappointing today. Yes, the texture was rich but the aromatic complexity and length were absent. It cannot be considered a great wine at this point.

Given that others on CT have been most enthusiastic about this wine as recently as this past September, do you think they are wrong or that the wine has just fallen off a cliff in the past two months?
