Community Tasting Note

HODL Likes this wine:

Thursday, October 6, 2022 - We decanted for over 2.5 hrs before trying and drank it along side a 2008 freemark abbey Howell mountain merlot.
This wine was great, but my expectations were slightly let down.
The fruit tasted a little older than I was expecting, I think it is slightly over the hill
There was mostly leather, licorice, and stewed or dried fruit.. I expected a little more depth.., but the fruit tasted older than I thought it was going to. (I’ve tried older version’s recently like the 90 & 92)
Acidity was medium and the tannins were well integrated. Still mostly purple in color w not much bricking toward edges (so maybe improper storage if I’m getting mostly cooked fruit) I got the btl off an auction site..
It was better than the freemark..
