Community Tasting Note

• Matt Scott Likes this wine: 98 points

  November 16, 2018 - Decanted for two hours. Complexity and purity are the first two words I think of while spending time with this chanteuse. Very expressionistic, the nose displays dried raspberry, melted licorice, mineral, chiseled chalk, rosemary, rattan, white pepper and dark berries. Effusively long and classicly balanced, with sweet tannins that glimmer, and folding layers of fruit and stone. Legendary and almost ageless. Drink 2023 -.
