Community Tasting Note

• floridawinedrkr Likes this wine:

  September 3, 2016 - Upon opening it was like Minute Maid Blueberry juice and Welchs Grape juice. Couldn't drink it on day 1.
  
  Day 2 It has settled down and is much more drinkable but still has lots of blueberry and grape juice notes. Finish is dry with Oak and alcohol . Still haven't decided if I like it yet.

We have yet to sip the 2012 as we usually like to sip Maybach at around 5+ years. Definitely a wine that requires several hours of breathing even when she is ready to blossom. Do not give up on her...she is a rockstar in waiting...

Im to impatient and I dont have enough room to store that many bottle. I only buy whats ready to go for the most part. But I believe this bottle needs a lot of time. No big deal, its just wine.
