Community Tasting Note

  January 22, 2024 - WOTN. This was in a nice space, having lost some of the verve of youth, but not with any advanced or oxidized features. Regal and stately very classic in a sense, but less opulent than I would have imagined for a wine of its caliber. Clean delivery, good integration and intensity of flavor, and long on the palate.

  Your note tells me to hesitate, I won´t touch my bottles until 2026.

  1/23/24, 7:49 AM - This bottle could have clearly held a few more years. I think the choice of whether to pull one depends on the number in your cellar. If I had only one, I’d hold a couple more years as these have really become special occasion wines. You’re rolling the dice that the bottle is one of the good ones. If Meadows’ bottle was premoxed in the common usage of that term, that implies that some number out of the case will be faulty, but to me isn’t a call to go open them all right away. Maybe get a light to check the color though and pull the darkest one!

  So many bottles has been drunk, never had one premoxed, but read a lot about it from scared people.
  As I don´t get them anymore still one 2015 out of 4 always perfect, I´m not worried, thanx for the feed back.
