Community Tasting Note

  August 2, 2016 - I was a little disappointed with this wine although only because the reviews have been pretty full throttle by any standards. Allen Meadows describes it as, "A great Rugiens", whereas Tanzer describes it as, an "extraordinarily rich wine that will need at least a decade of ageing to reveal its full potential", so I was expecting something rather memorable. Don't get me wrong, this is a lovely wine that provides enormous enjoyment, but it's somewhat liltingly soft and gentle rather than a powerhouse. Yes it's velvety and round and slips down remarkable easily, but I wouldn't say there is the power, complexity or concentration that's required for a truly great Rugiens. Maybe it was me on the night and the next bottle will prove me wrong. Estimated maturity: 2014-2022
