Community Tasting Note

94 Points

Tuesday, March 21, 2023 - Wow - initial whiffs of wood smoke and cured tobacco with a lovely underpinning of dark red fruit. Floral and lilting nose. A soft and lithe palate with completely resolved tannins but a good density and fairly long finish.

Having had the spectacular 82 and exceptional 86, this seems nearly a perfect mix of the two - not as dense or long as the 82 but really excellent.
