Community Tasting Note

Sunday, August 20, 2023 - Served at a dinner party after many wines and following another older Napa old vine zin so this is just a general impression. Nice aromatics and good fruit flavors dominate. There is nice extraction but with a sense of elegance and refinement. Fairly broad finish which is smooth and satisfying. That said the wine did not seem fully integrated, there was was a bit of a hole with some rough edges between the front palate and the mid which detracted a bit from the overall experience. Having not tasted this at release I suspect that this may just be corrected (hopefully) with more bottle age. If it does my score would go up accordingly. Of note others tonight liked it a bit better then me.... I would love to try this again in about 5-6 years and i don't think there is much risk in waiting. Went back to read the back of the bottle today before posting. Quite the story with a fortunate happy ending for the Lamborn Family -always good to earn of such outcomes.
