Community Tasting Note

    January 31, 2015 - cellartv's note below resonates with me, but i didn't get as much of the non-fruit elements on the palate… drank around the fire with Buz, we drained it, cigars so no thoughts on the nose, palate was filled with red and blue fruits, medium plus body but exceptionally easy/elegant, enough acid but not in the forefront, therefore - esp with effectively no tannins left - super super smooth… what a joy to drink, if you had a headache or were stressed out, four or five sips of this wine would immediately put you at ease… what a pleasure, even if not monumental like some bottles of the '84
