Community Tasting Note

December 20, 2013 - Very similar tasting experience to the '05 Jayson I opened in '09. The acidity is too sharp in an unappealing way, and the mid-palate is hollow. Weak nose. Expected better based on other CT tasters. -87pts
Update: This redeemed itself on the second night, it came together nicely, enough for a 90pt score.3,392 views

For economic reasons, I'm always searching for those rare $40-$50 bottles that drink above their price. More often than not I find CT average scores to be more reliable than the pros (provided multiple users have given scores). Noticed you live in Clearwater . . . I was born in Morton Plant and went to Clearwater High. Live in Palm Harbor now, so haven't made it very far from home.
