Community Tasting Note

  • VTCellarDweller Likes this wine: 92 points

    February 3, 2014 - The first of 6 purchased in the fall of 2012. This was consumed almost two weeks ago and I neglected to make notes right away so detailed impressions are lacking.
    My general impression was very favorable and that it reminded me very much of the 2001 LRA Vina Ardanza Reserva Especial. Sour cherry, exotic spices, and oak were prominent with a firm acidic spine and solid tannins. As with the Ardanza, this has a good future and will benefit from another 2-3 years to round out and develop more nuance.
