Community Tasting Note

95 Points
Monday, September 30, 2019 - A very solid wine with impressive fruit, although it had a prominent vanilla element on the palate. The wine is young and can easily age for many years. I rated this WOTN, slightly edging out an '02 Mouton, '00 Lynch Bages, and '07 Pegau. (Sept. 29, 2019 at West Branch Angler Resort)
