Community Tasting Note

Monday, December 28, 2020 - Finally got the cork out in one piece! Have had half a dozen of these in the past 15 years, and the only bad thing about these wines are the corks turning to sawdust when you try to remove! A QPR Champion here, still holding on to the magic. Although not the 91 Winemakers Reserve, which is absolute MIND-BLOWING wine...this reg 91 is still drinking quite nicely, especially since it's such a cheapo, and was never intended to be aged out for 30yrs! Dark plum, slight rose rim color...super dusty, minty, leather, walnut oil, dried leaves, cigar wrapper, plumberry nose. Fruit still sweet...plum, cherry, currants...soft and dusty pencil tannins...slight cherry skin sours for a refreshing acidity kick...subtle complexities of leather, menthol tobacco, dried leaf pile...and that crazy dusty cigar box. This bottle seems a lot fresher than the last one 9 years ago...maybe from the sounder cork? More subtle and lighter bodied than the reserve, of course, yet that wine is a freak! Classical old school...classical 1991...just plan class!
