Community Tasting Note

Monday, February 19, 2024 - In my 4/20/2021 tasting note on this wine, I had thought that was my last bottle, but I just found another in the buried part of my cellar where I intentionally stash a few bottles with the intent of forgetting about them and not drinking them for a long time. Now way past the CellarTracker date of 2001, I figured that I had better drink it. And after a long hard day in the lab where I work (insulting George Washington and all subsequent presidents), I figured that I deserved something special this evening. The fill was about 1 inch below the cork. The cork came out in three pieces, but was not soaked all the way to the top. The wine was still bright red with no sign of browning. Still loaded with strawberry and a little sweetness, without which I would have bumped up the score a little higher. I note that without one earlier negative reviewer who gave this wine a 65, the average would be well above 90. A real pleasure to drink a mature, mellow wine with no serious flaws after 38 years. If you have this gem, I suggest drinking it soon.
