Community Tasting Note

• bendb Likes this wine: 89 points

  January 14, 2024 - On my third of four bottles purchased, I've finally found one that's rather good! I suppose the first two were flawed.
  
  For a 14-year old wine, this has some gentle secondary aromas of cedar, spices, and a little tar.
  
  On the palate there's more of the same - cedar, graphite, some tar, and even a bit of fruit left. The finish is a bit drying, and lasts about 10-15 seconds. Overall impression is of a wine that is fading but still has some spark left.
  
  This has ended up being an enjoyable bottle. Even so, I still maintain that the value just isn't there - for around $45, I can find better and more-reliable bottles with ease.
