Community Tasting Notes 68

  November 12, 2022 - Disappointing. From Betz and Washington in general I expected lots of fruit remaining, but there is none. Just some acid with a very linear start and finish but with no noticeable fruit or flavor profile to speak of.
  Cork was in perfect shape, and no noticeable bottle flaw or defect. I just think this one is way past its time and way over the hill.

  December 5, 2020 - From Magnum opened and given air for 4 hours not decanted. Very youthful on opening, still tight some tannins. We got into it at dinner and it was singing. Smooth, tannins faded and berries, slight pepper, very slight, blueberry with a hint of lighter fruit ( maybe raspberry ?) showed through. i can't say enough how this blew us away. I think if you have a 750 it has to be drunk ASAP.
