Community Tasting Note

Saturday, May 28, 2022 - Drank at Schmone in the West Village. Opened a magnum when we arrived. It was fantastic at the pop & pour stage but softened quickly. It's really almost at the end....But....At the pop & pour phase, the nose was fantastic!! Coffee, cranberry, leather and tobacco. The palate had flavors of blackberry and...go figure...grapefruit!!! The finish is relatively short and abrupt. This is definitely at the end of its drinking window, but still it's fantastic!! WA rated it in the 80's a long time ago. I give it a 90 - with all of the caveats in the notes I provided- but this one definitely improved with age!!!
