Community Tasting Notes 6

    August 3, 2016 - Still excellent and a good example of how the ripasso method can make very long living wines.
    DRied berries on the palate with still present tannins and a dry but lasting finish. A good, sturdy wine.

    June 14, 2013 - My last bottle. Rust color and still drinking well with about 30 mins of air. Good QPR for $5 a bottle at auction!

    April 7, 2013 - A bunch of leather and dirt on the nose. Some tannins on the palate. Tastes appropriate for its age, meaning it tastes like it is an older wine, but there is still some fruit there and in a good place.

    February 20, 2013 - Holding up very well at nearly 10 years of age. Flavorful and a bit raisiny, but not cloying or overly dense. Has a nice acidic backbone and ample tannic structure to hold up a while longer.
