Community Tasting Note

• Ibetian Likes this wine: 98 points

  August 22, 2013 - Slight bricking at the rim. Wonderfully complex nose now dominated by secondary characteristics: cedar, leather, mushrooms and earth. Yet there is also some black cherry and other dark fruit. Smooooth. Palate has more fruit than the nose would suggest.
  
  Great wine, maybe a step ahead of the bottle of this we had last year and a step behind the incredible 100 point experience with this wine 2 years ago. We are so lucky to be able to enjoy this wine.
