Community Tasting Note

• #1Winelover Likes this wine: 98 points

  October 28, 2018 - This rich and luscious baby blew me away. I started with a Coravin pour, which was really good, but once I opened the bottle and gave it time in the decanter, it became an excellent wine. After 1 hour, it still needed a little more time to blow off some of the alcohol. After 2 hours, it was singing.
  
  Dark purple with red and blue coloring and fruit smells, including blackberry, blueberry, plum, cassis, licorice. Well integrated velvety tannins, with a nice balance of acid. Very full-bodied but not too heavy. Nice earth and mineral notes.
  
  I do think that this is too young and will become a 100 point wine with time. If you are lucky enough to have this, I would either decant it for some time, or, wait 6-12 months.
  
  98-100 points.

Your notes do confirm that a year or so should be the starting point to try this wine, though I’m not that patient. Hoping my shipment makes it to Texas soon.

The 2016 La Verdad is an exquisite wine, and I agree that it is destine to be 100 points, but I favor the "O.G." That wine is insanely good in every way in my opinion (99 Points by Robert Parker) - I love that wine.
