Community Tasting Note

Monday, February 29, 2016 - Light Ruby. Balanced, with a nice touch of earth -- but overall a bit thin. I suppose we expected a bit more, based on the professional reviews. Still, quite nice over four nights.

This is a controversial wine because of the location blend confusing the sense of place.
Cheers.

I've bought a few of these, but am not planning to start drinking them for another several years.

We have one more (having bought 2 at K&L's original pre-arrival offer, made last year, at $55 -- rather higher than the recent offering, which is now sold out, I see). And CO, no, we didn't notice much positive development. -- Jake
