Community Tasting Note

  • cr84 wrote: 98 points

    January 12, 2013 - This wine really grew up since I had it last... Now it's an adolescent ready to grow up but needing some time to come together. Dark grenat dress with a peperish nose profiling some dark red berries. The mouth is tacitely expressive but the tannins are extremely well integrated, displaying a greatly precise structure with fresh woody flavors. This is beautifully built up and will only improve with time. Awesome effort!

    It's hard to give a perfectly fitted drinking window since it depends on how much of this single wine you have in your cellar and how expensive they were. I state that because, since the wine is already gorgeous, I would recommend giving it a shot if you've some more for later consumption.

    If it was for one and only one bottle, I would recommend stashing it for something like seven years... that would be popping it starting 2020.
