Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, April 13, 2022 - I don't even know how to rate this wine. I drank it at Bern's (where else could you find an old chestnut like this?), where it has been resting since the '50s. It was astonishingly alive and really quite lovely. Delicate fruit remains with a whole panoply of tertiary flavors. Is it a blockbuster? Of course not. But it was made as the Great Depression was ending, and it gave great joy in 2022, which is enough of a triumph for me.

Must have been fun to try such an old wine with good life left.
