Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, April 14, 2020 - Bought 6b as part of a 12b mixed lot at a Michael Davis auction 23 years ago; this is #2. Average bottle price of the lot was 24/b, and I think the other bottles were 3b each of '90 and '92 Whitehall Lane CS. Decanted with normal sediment for its age. Darker ruby with some amber edge; mature black cherry, some cinnamon, hint of eucalyptus that follow on the palate, fair mouthfeel. Tasty and interesting, past prime. Glad I have more, hope to do a vertical. Europat55's notes suggest there may be bottle variation: we'll see. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation: For me, scores on a "100-point scale" are misleading. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. This is notable when considering quality, age, and price.
