Community Tasting Notes (2) Avg Score: 93.5 points

  • I see over 200 people own this wine, and just the one note. My kids gave this wine to me for Fathers day 3 years ago. I'm sure some lucky retailer was happy to get it out of inventory. Slow-ox'd for 2 hours on Father's day afternoon. I opened this with my family. I thought my kids would like the fact that I was drinking their bottle with them. I shouldn't have been in such a hurry to drink this unknown wine with no reviews. I looked at other vintages and the wine read well.

    On opening, there was some fruit. Smooth, elegant, and tannins that indicate you shouldn't open this for a minimum of 5 years. On day 2, the wine was still enjoyable, and still had tannins. There wasn't a change in the drinking style. 92 points, on the way to 95. I'm not sorry I drank this. Wish I had another bottle to drink in 2022.
