Community Tasting Note

• walkerjfw wrote: 92 points

  February 19, 2016 - At Press tasting during PNV week (Then & Now), good opportunity to taste recent vintages, auction lots and library wines from some great vintners...tasted next to the 13...
  
  Nicely aged, good core color not much sign age. Nose somewhat restrained, black fruits, mint. Palate is ripe/juicy dark fruits, plums, vanilla, oak.
  
  This still drinks young but in a good spot right now. This was from a magnum that had been open a while, I suspect a 2 hour+ decant would be in order for the wine when opened. Should drink at this level for a while
