Community Tasting Note

  • dfcrutcher Likes this wine: 94 points

    August 15, 2021 - Quite surprising, actually. I cannot recall this wine, from other vintages, lasting much more than a decade, never mind two. Very smooth, with deep fruit, soft tannins and just a hint of acid for balance. A bit more acid balance and I would have put it in the 97 range. Mocha and blueberry (not raspberry) hints. Structurally intact.

    I say no hurry; good for another 5 years at least.

    8/18/21, 2:00 PM - Hi Dave, Hope you've been well since we exchanged e-mails around last year end; what a crazy year and a half it's been! I have tentative plans to get together with a couple of other friends from the site in September-October; would you like to join us? If you could respond to this with your e-mail, I can give you more details off the site (you can erase that comment for 90 minutes after you place it). Look forward to being in touch. Best, Peter
