Community Tasting Note

  • Slaz wrote: 88 points

    February 21, 2018 - My second bottle since March 2017. In contrast to the previous one, this had plenty of intense bright red (almost overly acidic) berries and very little else, including minimal secondary notes and short finish even after several hours of decanting. Either the bottle variation or it's just still plain young (but then go figure why a year ago this tasted notably more impressive).
