Community Tasting Note

Thursday, June 4, 2020 - Excellent. Quite the surprise after drinking three of these in the past couple of years: one was DOA/maderized, another was ok, the other, quite good. But this!

Part of me (is this a natural reaction?) was wondering, just two sips into this, if (1) I had any more, and (2) if I was drinking the best bottle in my cellar, as surely the odds were against them. Well, come to find out (after I opened it), this was my final bottle. Another news flash, I've got hundreds of bottles that will either give this a run for its money, or eclipse it. Still, I had reason to worry; special bottles evoke such sentiment.

This was almost Bordeaux-like in that it was 20 years old, and clearly had lots left in the tank, with its deep, rich red fruits that had taken on an almost cassis-like quality. This gained a gentle, noble complexity with each subsequent pour. Four ounces saved for night #2, were just as good. In a perfect place, if you happen to have one of the bottles with the blessed cork. 14,0% abv. highly recommended
