Community Tasting Notes 1

srh Likes this wine:
November 3, 2018 - Winebar [4 Whites, 8 Reds, & 2 *shared,* VERY impressive bottles] from 11/02/18 (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): José & Torben: W-O-W !! :)
Had been decanted for ≈ 90 mins
N: GORGEOUS roses, notes of smoke, with undertones of orange peel? Poss leather?
P: LM body; Very NICE frt BEAUTIFULLY off-set by an acidity which pushes the wine into & through the very LONG finish. Drinking OUTSTANDINGLY right now, & I can see it holding into its 50th! Moreover, it still packs the acidity & "frt" to accompany food even @ its advanced age! 13% ABV; My Exceptional-/Exceptional. [Wine-searcher still showing 1 U.S. source @ $80.]
