Community Tasting Note

95 Points

Saturday, June 25, 2005 - A wonderful wine. Decanted 10 hours per Roy's advice, the wine gained weight and complexity until it showed a rich nose of cherry, blueberry, and chocolate with an intense, flavorful fruitiness in the mouth. Sweet, fruity, full and rich, it was the star of the tasting. It has many years to go (probably another 25). Very good acidity, and just a lovely wine. Purchased in 1980 for the astronomical price of $19.50 at the time, this wine makes me want more VP in the cellar. Jim's rating: Major Yum!
