Community Tasting Note

90 Points

Friday, March 12, 2021 - Drinking very well, perhaps beginning to decline. Still, a very enjoyable wine. Opened and poured a sip and decided not to decant due to some brick-edge in the color. After an hour, began to open up. Paired with a leg of lamb stuffed with sage and pancetta - nice match. Undoubtedly Bordeaux - a touch austere, but the graphite and plummy fruit is solid, plus there are some firm/integrated tannins to maintain structure. Very pleasurable. Happy to have had it and would not be disappointed if I had more - but drink up.
