Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 13, 2021 - Seeing the CT consensus that the drinking window was closing on this wine and reading PMJak11's TN I dug out my last bottle from the cellar with bittersweet anticipation. I was not disappointed. What a delicious pour! All bramble and boysenberry, the long, strong and mouthwatering nose was present from when first decanted through about an hour of air time and the 2 hours to consume. Mouthwatering. The drinking did not disappoint, following the nose precisely. The same deep fruit with a little tar and a looong finish. Knowing it was my last bottle each sip was held in the mouth: relished and savored. Silky smooth with just the right amount of astringency, acidity and tannins on the finish to balance the fruit. What a treat. While I am sure there are better wines, I certainly wasn't thinking about that as we enjoyed this one. There were no signs this wine was on it's last legs: no bricking on the edge and no deterioration of the fruit. I don't know how much more life there is in this wine but the only reason I would suggest drinking now as opposed to holding this beauty with great anticipation is to enjoy it. This wine was a reminder of why I collect and hold wines.
