Community Tasting Note

• Dr_Bob Likes this wine: 90 points

  February 1, 2015 - I've stored it well, developing fabulously. This bottle still with some age left to it, decanted and consumed 4-8 hour time frame. Rich deep, notes of chocolate and bacon. Medium plus finish. Looking to finish my four more bottles over next five years.

From late 2006 / early 2007 a note for this wine! "Importer: Thomas Wine Imports (Van Nuys). Vins Rare $11! (normally Vins Rare $20). ! perfumey (sic) / violets nose and nice body. Worth >$20"
