Community Tasting Note

Monday, August 29, 2011 - Aerated 1 hr; fair amount of sediment noted. This really didn't wow me, the (modernly-styled) way that past bottles have. I think the best days are behind it, and a lack of any real secondary character tends to support that idea. The oak and alcohol still take the lead on this, so give it solid aeration - unless of course that's what you're looking for. The rich, almost sappy quality that this has shown in the past has mellowed, but not in the most elegant of ways. 14,9% abv, drink thru 2014, approx $34. Cheers Mark M. !
