Community Tasting Note

Monday, April 17, 2023 - The I Block has always reminded me of my Mom, as she was born in 1945, as well as these vines. Picked up four bottles this 99 off WB 7 years ago...and there was a definite color difference in the bottles. Had the first two, which were the darkest, and they were clearly oxed. This bottle has always been the brightest of the four...and I'm happy to say it was a PRISTINE bottle! Brought me back to a great bottle I had in 2016...gorgeous shiny gold with green tinge color...youthful yellow pitted orchard fruits with some tropical candied pineapple, concentrated dried fruits...a wonderful oily and banana wax texture, yet LOADED with lemon tarts and dry extract...crushed rock minerality...white flower and lemongrass exotics...energized with cut! I've had a few Raveneaus at this very same place where we drank this, and I'm telling you...VERY similar! Such a brilliant bottle and experience...just hope I can someday replicate it again...no hope in the last bottle though, as it's darker color makes me cringe. But...you never know?
