Community Tasting Note

Monday, March 7, 2022 - My first bottle of these 2002s was too Bretty to get past. My experience so far has been that all of these mature Qupés have some Brett in them. Fine, I think, in an older Syrah, but not if it overwhelms everything else. Fortunately, this bottle was right on target. Tannins have completely resolved, most of the fruit is long gone, and there's plenty of spicy, savory, gamey, briny, slightly metallic, complex deliciousness to enjoy. Good acid still, and not yet tasting like thin juice. Blind, I might call this older than 20 years. Past its peak but still with plenty to offer, and a true bargain for $13 at auction.
