Community Tasting Note

• Roentgen Ray wrote: 93 points

  October 2, 2015 - I scored this higher than I like this because the other person loved this bottle.
  The tannins were cranked down tight, like a head lock on my tongue. The was nothing bad about the bottle, it improved after a day of air. For me, I'll keep this for years before opening another. It's packed dense with so much, and it's just coming together still.
  One caveat, I could see opening this with vigorous aeration, and lots of fat, e.g. butter and prime grade beef.

  That was in 2006, and so I decided to pull the trigger on a bottle because I have a six pack. Similar aromatics in this one but WAYYYY more structure. This ain't no Napa wine, it's so old World and I'll taste again in 5-10yrs...
