Community Tasting Note

Friday, December 17, 2010 - I've been slowly sampling a case of this wine since the early 2000's. In my opinion it peaked in 2005. I had my penultimate (i.e., second to last) bottle tonight and found it to be a huge disappointment. It is thin, and totally one-dimensional with only minerality on the palate, not even a hint of fruit or wood, and delivered a pitiful finish. I can only hope that some miraculous metamorphosis will transform my last, remaining bottle into something more enjoyable. So, I'll roll the dice and in 5 to 10 years and drink my final 1998 then to see if it's totally unpalatable or miraculously transformed (as the label does say it "has the structure to age and improve for decades"). Despite being a huge fan of this wine, albeit not this vintage, I have my doubts....
