Community Tasting Note

  • Scottlmatthews Likes this wine: 93 points

    September 23, 2023 - The nose is predominantly grape fruit-reserved and not expected. Has a purple popsicles smell, with herbs (thyme ) and violet flowers. The palate is minuscule fruit, acid with soft tannins. Decanted for three hours. This wine is in a dumb phase, and does not live up to it’s 98+ points Wine advocate rating. Hold off drinking my other β€˜13 for another 5 years.
