Community Tasting Note

• CJChampion Likes this wine: 90 points

  December 26, 2023 - I enjoyed this very much and was surprised at how good it was. It still has fruit, though it will not be getting any better. No noticeable bricking at the edges. Tannins are fully resolved and it retains the flavor profile of it's younger days and some freshness. I get cigar box which I love, dark fruits and light spice. I has a medium body, less of course than when young. I was happy it didn't feel tired as I had expected and is sometimes the case with wine this old, and it held on for the 2 hours it took us to finish the bottle. My wife, who likes mature wine less than I do, quite liked the wine. As fully aged wine the score would be a 93 or so. This bottle has had good storage and might hang on a while longer but I expect there is nothing to gain from waiting any longer.
