Community Tasting Note

  • Tim Heaton Likes this wine:

    January 21, 2017 - Hard to argue and of the points that dchain makes in his/her note of Sept 2016. Which is to say, this comes across as 1er material and NOT GC worthy. While there's a fair amount to enjoy (as a simple companion to food), it never really becomes exciting in any way, it never reveals any nuance or chance for hidden nuances. Agree with others, not sure there's really any reason to let this age any longer. Good, but short of very good or excellent; leans modern, with some gratuitous flab.

    Served non-blind.

    But if I was forced to choose between the two, more so the site particulars.
