Community Tasting Note

• jeagle wrote: 100 points

  June 4, 2019 - Decanted for six hours, but the initial impression was muted compared to around two or three hours later. And then the magic. I have been fortunate to have experienced many of Paso's finest including most vintages of Torrin. This bottle, however, was simply startling in its effortless power, beguiling texture, depth of flavors, elegant push across the palate, and echoing finish. I cannot get it out of my mind. I have always been reluctant to give a wine a perfect score, but I just cannot find any shortcoming.

  6/4/19, 10:38 AM - I later remembered that Jeb Dunnuck had given it a 100 score, but I did not know if that was from barrel or bottle. I expected it to be big but tight. Interestingly, it started out as well-made but medium bodied with no hint of what was to come. Like so many wines, one hopes to find its garden spot rather than finish the bottle too soon or decant it too long. When it came around, I was truly stunned. If you get to Paso, my favorite wineries aside Torrin are Law, L'Aventure, and Clos Solene / Benom.
