Community Tasting Note

95 Points
Saturday, December 11, 2021 - No notes taken and had at a lunch from Magnum as all the 98s are. Lovely nose, fresh, lively palate with lots of acid and zip. Over time opens up with further richness on the nose. Excellent and in a 94-95 ballpark for me. No rush to drink. Believe this was a relatively recent release but couldn’t see any details on label.

I have a few more in storage so will check.
