Community Tasting Note

  • jonboy74 Likes this wine: 92 points

    August 29, 2020 - Fabulous and in a wonderful spot. A hint of green pepper, which seems to be a hallmark of this winery, as I have picked it up on other vintages also. Mid bodied, a little light on mid palate but very satisfying. I dont think it is going to improve any more, but I wouldn't anticipate any sharp decline so should be plenty of years left in it.

    8/30/20, 7:50 AM - GAET why 12 years?

  • GAET commented:

    8/30/20, 8:06 AM - Because I think that the wine arrives on its plateau of maturity and that it will stay there for many years. And not just for one year
