Community Tasting Note

Valaprop Likes this wine:

Sunday, October 9, 2022 - Brought to restaurant and enjoyed with bone in NY strips. The somm was a bit aggressive, or optimistic, when lifting the cork, which cracked after it was about 75% out and the wine had to be filtered and decanted. I suspect it would have been fine with a slower pull -- but in any event, the wine was drinking beautifully just minutes after the pour and it only improved over the next hour. This was always medium weight, never a fruit bomb, and 23 years in, it's all about subtlety, complexity, harmony and finesse. If I were drinking this blind, I might have thought it was from Pauillac. The tannins have softened completely. Just delightful. No reason to wait on remaining bottles, but I'm looking forward to my last two.
