Community Tasting Note

  • dchain Likes this wine: 93 points

    October 19, 2017 - Deep translucent ruby. Interesting nose of ripe strawberry, cherry, tobacco, pine and leather. Takes some time to open up. Seems very young and tight still. Impeccable balance, ripe but good acidity to bring freshness. Lots going on in the palate, still quite closed and young there too. Will last for ages and lots of upside improvement from here. Picked this up at an average of $120/bottle but getting expensive if the latest auction prices are anything to go by. Beautiful and thought provoking wine.
