Community Tasting Note

  December 15, 2020 - Oxidized. Won this at auction on winebid.com. The bottle also had a sticker on it from a prior Zacky’s auction. So, I guess it was a well traveled bottle, which unfortunately developed some problems overtime.

  1/1/21, 1:03 PM - Just had it on New years from professional storage locker. Owned since near release. A very nice bottle with savory herbs de provence, anise and dark red and black fruits. Glad I have 3 left of a case. Some were better than others, but all were at least good and none obviously flawed. I rarely if ever buy one bottle at auction as storage is an obvious concern. If I do - it is when several bottles are individually listed by the same consigner. Wine bid might refund you- isn’t that what those big consigner and purchaser premiums for?😉
