Community Tasting Note

Zweder wrote: 91 points
May 28, 2016 - In the bouquet dark forest fruits and luxurious oak. On the palate red fruits, vanilla, firm acidity and fairly light, but a bit unripe tannin. Not really sure what to think; the high acidity in combination with a fairly lean body in this stage, but also luxurious elements. I would like to taste this again around 2022 to see how this wine has developed. I hope for the better. For tonight 90 – 91+?

We say thanks for the heads-up as we were targeting circa 2020 to try our first of 12. By the way, the 2001s are sipping exceedingly well now!
