Community Tasting Note

• SMHalps wrote: 89 points

  December 6, 2020 - my last of 4 bottles of this vintage, and a little disappointing. Could it have already been over the hill? Notes of Cedar with a pleasing acidity. I've had a few vintages of this cuvee and this is the first bottle that I was able to wait a few years to open and drink.
