Community Tasting Note

  • Slaz Likes this wine: 93 points

    May 11, 2019 - Relative to my prior tastings in 2017 and 2015, what used to be disjointed components has melded into much elegance and exceptional depth in the mid-palate. 1-2 hours of decanting helped the wine calm down and taste at its best (my wife was surprised to realize this was LRA's GR 904 from 2004. Earthy notes and notes of wet forest used to overwhelm, not any more. Drinks very well now. Should continue to go strong for a number of years (but no need to hold yourself back any more).
