Community Tasting Note

  • g-man Likes this wine: 93 points

    August 6, 2016 - I may be understating how good this was since it was served after some extremely good aged Bordeaux's but I had been anxious to try this after many years. Clean opening and decanted for 2 hours before trying. It's still a big wine in every sense with a nose of creosote and tar with some menthol peaking through. The palate was consistent with earth and brambly fruit coming through. I would like to try this again in a couple of years and I sense this is ready to blossom into a more expressive wine having shed its baby fat.
