Community Tasting Note

  February 2, 2019 - Enjoyed next to the '89. Two warm vintages, 20 years to melt the tannins in what was a fascinating lesson in texture. What was gravelly and velvety in the '09 was silky in this '89, which did show some tertiary characteristics but was no where near over the hill. Assuming this '09 has the advantage of more advanced techniques in the vineyard and cellar, it's at least a 35-year wine. -2044
