Community Tasting Note

  November 23, 2023 - Last bottle of a 6-bottle purchase years ago. Very similar note to what I wrote in January. Crumbly and PITA cork. Double decanted and drank about half hour later. Delicious wine.

  Oddly in my limited experience with this amazing claret, I found the 2012 better then.. I think it was the 2001.
  
  For a moment, I thought 10 years was the perfect drinking window, perhaps its the vintage or the bottle!!
