Community Tasting Notes 2

  January 27, 2020 - Bought 4b for 20/b about 10 years ago from a Cali vendor; this is #2. Decanted with normal sediment for its age. Almost black-purple; rich black cherry/black fruit nose, some tar; deep fruit flavors, some tar, very good mouthfeel; good persistence. Delicious! Paired well with garlic chicken pasta. No sign of decline, but doubt that it will improve. Glad I have more, wish I had even more. 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 outstanding- when considering quality, age, and price.

  December 11, 2018 - Didn't know what to expect from a 15 year old bottle, but quite tasty.
