Community Tasting Note

  • Geaux Tigers wrote: 95 points

    June 14, 2021 - 2021 Napa - June 9-12: We closed with a library Aurora and what a finish. This was like getting a 23andme report on the 2017 Aurora. Red fruit, definitely Diamond Mountain, tannins have started to recede but provide a lovely backbone for a long finish. No need to wait here, even with PnP, though I think this still has room to get even better. 95 pts for now with 96-98 future potential.
