Community Tasting Note

• Loren Sonkin wrote: 95 points

  December 16, 2015 - Tasting Group Holiday Party (Mouton, Laurent, Essencia, Hundred Acre, Staglin, +++) (University Circle): Really nice showing. It was probably in the wrong place in the lineup as it took a sip or two to re-calibrate. In any event, once I did, this was great. Not really showing much age, although obviously not a baby. Purple in color. The nose has plums, black raspberries and a slight floral note. On the palate, more black cherries with a strong and nice black licorice note. Good acidity. Tight complexity that slowly unwound in the glass. Great showing. As I still have a few left, I was glad to see that there is no hurry.
