Community Tasting Note

• BBencz Likes this wine: 89 points

  February 9, 2018 - Lighter style. Seems to have taken on more age than I would have expected at this stage, with red fruit well in the background and mint and licorice up front. Unless this is hitting a dumb phase, I'd say drink now while you can. This bottle was fading fast.
