Community Tasting Note

Friday, November 18, 2022 - My first time to taste this beautiful and rather enigmatic wine. The interesting thing is that at this point, 36 years young, the wine is still very much an adolescent. By that I mean that the fruit flavors are rather primary, a touch roasted or sun-kissed on the initial opening, then focusing and improving in the decanter over two hours time. If you had blinded me and said, this was an early 2000s Opus One or Dominus, I would believe you for sure. It does not have the astringency or drying tannins typical of 1986, but instead is structurally resolved, and yet without much tertiary development. This bottle was purchased on release and stored in a cold cellar until today.

Please excuse any dictation related typos.
