Community Tasting Note

  March 10, 2020 - Bought 4b for 20/b from a local eclectic independent shop; this is #1. Almost opaque purple; black fruit, tarry nose; rich, mature black fruit, tarry but not sharp, with more fruit emerging with time in the glass; some persistence--tasted "serious", though not austere. Delicious but not for everyone. Good pairing with Italian herbed chicken. Glad I have more. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation: For me, scores on a "100-point scale" are misleading. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. This is notable+ when considering quality, age, and price.
