Community Tasting Note

August 9, 2022 - This is a bottle that I misplaced years ago and recently found in my cellar. I had hoped that serendipity would portend a transcendental drinking experience. Alas, it was not to be. Extraordinarily tight and tannic, this tasted like a sample from tank. I don't know if it is in a "dumb" phase or if there is some sort of fault at play (I detected no TCA), but this was really disappointing. I absolutely adored this bottle when it was young.

But my experience here seems inconsistent with those of a number of experienced tasters with whom I shared notes, and that's why I am open to the possibility that my bottle isn't representative. I hope your bottles shine.
