Community Tasting Notes 50

  April 9, 2024 - Very flat tasting compared to the first bottle I tried 10 months ago (in June 2023). Although the bottle is non-vintage (NV), I then linked to what some members indicated as a 2019 (seems plausible). Have noticed a few others' tasting notes that noted occasional inconsistency, and also wondering if it's already past its prime.
  
  I'll give it another day and see if it gets better. Drank tonight without aerating, but even with the second pour from the open bottle sitting in the glass for a while, it wasn't any better. Withholding a rating for now; when tasted in June 2023, I gave it an 88.

  March 23, 2024 - Solid as ever. This would be a great dinner party wine to buy in bulk. It's got enough going on to make it interesting, is inexpensive enough to not break most peoples' budgets, and it works on its own or with a variety of less delicate fare from trout in brown butter sauce to grilled meats to pot roast.
  My prior notes apply.
