Community Tasting Notes 2

  January 29, 2020 - Records not handy. I think this is the last of a 12b-case I bought at a silent auction at the end of a wine trade conference about 12 years ago--maybe 10/b or $120 for the case. Decanted with normal sediment for its age. Dark purple; fresh and ripe plum and black cherry, hint of old leather that follow on the palate, good mouthfeel; some persistence. Delicious, more like syrah than aged PN. I've enjoyed this over the years but not as varietally correct PN. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation: For me, scores on a "100-point scale" are misleading. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. This is notable+ when considering quality, age, and price.
