Community Tasting Note

Sunday, January 29, 2023 - Nose: Intense weighty dark cherry, tobacco, spearmint and wood. This really means business, and had incredible depth on the nose.

Palate: Opens with dark inky layers of nori, umami and dark plum. But with air it unfolds red berries, blackberry, cassis and blueberry notes, sweet dusty tannin, more mint and herbs. Exceptional silky mouthfeel and pliant tannin that remains gives the wine unusual heft. Gorgeous fruit and overall freshness that is remarkable at nearly 60-years old.

Finish: Length is wonderful and offers all of the fruit, wood and spice notes you would want. This is a slow burn, and right now still aging at a glacial pace.

This was an outstanding bottle, and was my WOTN with some very serious old Napa next to it.
