Community Tasting Note

Haggis Likes this wine:

Wednesday, December 25, 2013 - Opened a 375ml to accompany our Christmas dinner. It was just me and Mrs Haggis today, as our daughters decided to stay on the mainland rather than enjoy the tropical bliss, not to mention our company )). Yes, we did drink other wines, so it was not just this little bottle, ok? Wow...this is in such a good place now. Some slight bricking, but great color. Loads of plum, earth, leather, herbs, and that little bit of tart acidity to pull things together. Very Bordeaux-like, as are many Montelenas. I imagine that this is about peak for these 375's, but that 750's still have the bulk to age nicely for at least another 7-10 yrs. but, why wait? Delicious.
