Community Tasting Notes 4

  February 17, 2024 - Still some fruit on a 3L bottle we've been transporting for years. Mold on the wax cap, the cork was shot, leaking...and there was still fruit on the entrance and a balanced finish. If you have this, it's still bringing you Napa fruit and some acidity. Shocking actually. But drink it now...fades pretty quickly after opening.

  April 28, 2020 - Still showing well. Bright red fruit, sous bois, and smoke waft from the bouquet. Tart cherry fruit flavors are animated by a kiss of sweetness, vibrant acidity, and a gentle dusting of spices. It held up well over the course of three hours and picked up an attractive medicinal note on the tasty finish. This should continue drinking well for another 5-10 years.

  January 18, 2016 - 6L Imperial bottle There was nothing special here the wine was at the end of the road. Even though the wine was not at its finest you can’t go wrong when you show up to a party with a 6L bottle of wine :)

  May 20, 2014 - From a tasting last winter. Black cherry, earthy, even a little foxy.
