Community Tasting Note

  July 7, 2013 - Served the '92 La Jota against '92 Dalla Valle...both were spectacular and each will be fine for several more years. In fairness I have cellared them at 55 degrees since their release and last night was a just reward. Decanted 2 hours before dinner and served with grilled leg of lamb. Upon first taste the Dalla Valle was a little more open and fruit forward while the La Jota displayed vegetal notes, was lighter and more "French" in style. Most of us preferred the Dalla Valle while my son was La Jota all the way. An hour later the La Jota showed its stuff and most of us switched our allegiance. Both were perfect with the lamb and roasted red peppers and next year I expect both to still be drinking perfectly.
