Community Tasting Note

wrote:

Friday, May 25, 2018 - Friday Tasting Group; Syrahs/Shirazes (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): Cf. the CellarTracker Article link [lower lft] to get specific info for this vintage, including acclaim.

N: Closed, but seems ripe; Intensity lurking?

P: Med, poss LM, body; NICE, almost swtish frt BEAUTIFULLY counterbalanced by a tangy astringency which NEVER loses the frt's swtness as it slowly, fairly seamlessly transitions into the LONG, NICELY balanced finish with an ATTRACTIVE tangy/swtness to the very, VERY fine tannins. Deserves into '20, then making its '15th? 14.3% ABV; My EXC+, some level of EXCEPTIONALITY a *certainty*! :)
