Community Tasting Note

  • fclarity wrote: 96 points

    October 11, 2020 - Tasted blind, it was later revealed that this wine had a 5.5 cm fill and SOS. It had a light red center with tawny rims that made it look much older than it was. The medium+ intensity nose put forth notes of black cherries, sauteed rhubarb, minerals, and sous bois.

    In the mouth, this wine was gorgeously integrated with nice richness and a fine-grained texture. It had light rounded tannin and great length.

    This wine had the hallmark of a great wines, a light weight in the mouth but a huge flavor impact. This bottle was super tasty but on its last legs. It was essentially a preview of what well stored bottles will taste like in 30+ years.
    Pristine bottles should be in the zone and will likely rate a point or two higher.
