Community Tasting Note

  October 29, 2015 - Halpern Enterprises Portfolio Tasting (Toronto, ON): I really just found this too modern and over the top for me. The nose is of piña colada, coconut, powdered sugar, caramel macchiato, prunes and brandy.

If I had some I would hold in hopes that it all integrates. I had a 1998 Valbuena recently that was getting there but not yet totally integrated. You may love it, but it's not really a style I seek out these days.
