Community Tasting Note

Monday, May 4, 2020 - I've been a few years since my last bottle of this MSD and wow, what a difference it's made! Very impressive, very correct. Love the black cherry and nice clean snap of the fruit. Some spicy notes on the finish add a fun flourish. Structure is firm but not hard edged in any way. The nose outperforms the palate, which is totally fine with me. This was an expressive bottle, easy to enjoy with enough real burgundy character and seriousness to raise my eyebrows once or twice. Glad I have a couple more. I think it's in peak drinking window and, though it will certainly stay happy for years to come, there's no point in waiting as t's in a great spot with fruit and structure nicely balanced. For those to whom "mature" equals total absence of primary fruit, then maybe wait. I think that would be a shame. A great effort, and punching above its weight class for sure.
