Community Tasting Note

    April 18, 2015 - Paolo Bea Private Dinner (In Vino, New York, NY): I was captivated by this wine's perfume the moment I pulled the cork. Three hours and a double decant later, when it was in the glass, it had risen to an even higher plane. Spearmint, wild herbs, hints of game, black currants, and oak bark, all wrapped in a smooth, palate-coating package. Ferociously tannic upon release, this has achieved a balance that so many wines miss. It should continue to improve for another five years. Bottle #1386. Rated 3 on a scale of -1 to 3.
