Community Tasting Notes (1)

  • Bought 3b 18 years ago--the "end of bin" from a small central IL retail chain. The paperwork is not handy, but I expect it was well under 20/b from my shopping pattern at the time. Decanted with normal sediment for its age. Dark ruby with no evident amber; fragrant red fruit nose; redcurrant, some cranberry, good mouthfeel; good persistence with some fading of the fruit after an hour or so. This was delicious and remarkable, going on 25 years--glad I have another bottle. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation: I've stopped giving scores on a "100-point scale" as I've become less convinced that they can be meaningful to others. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. I considered this outstanding- when considering quality, age, and price.
