Community Tasting Note

  April 17, 2020 - Far better still than last btl 18 months ago and now, a full on head turner! Test sips found it a bit lean so slow oxed in btl and Burg glasses for 2 hours prior to dinner. Wow, has this improved! Fullly mature and surprisingly complex and layered vs previous btls. Semi translucent brick red color with further color loss on the edges. Light sediment did not require clearing. Enveloping aromas of faded red fruit, spice and autumn leaves. Gorgeously resolved with placid rainier cherry, red raspberry, damp minerally underbrush, mushroom and spices. Poured a shot glass's worth left over in Nita's glass into mine. Do not waste a drop! Dang it, my last btl! 13% alc. What a bargain this was for the $36 I paid for it.
