Community Tasting Note

Saturday, March 16, 2019 - Ordered a mixed case after a visit to the winery when it was just emerging--around 2000, I think. I think D2 was about 25-30/b, and I ordered 6b. Decanted with normal sediment for its age. Dark ruby; fragrant red fruit nose with subdued oak; mature redcurrant, some oak, round, very good mouthfeel; med finish. Delicious--better than some younger bottles that may have had storage issues. 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.
