Community Tasting Note

Bubblesearcher23 Does not like this wine:

Monday, April 8, 2024 - Medium ruby color. Had high hopes for this wine given the great reviews and high price tag. The nose is red fruit, vanilla, tobacco, all overwhelmed by alcohol (with a couple hours, the nose did come together a bit better). Palate is a bit better with red fruit, black pepper, spice box, but still being overwhelmed by alcohol. This bottle is 15.5% and you smell and taste every bit of it. Maybe I just got a poorly handled bottle, but it’s just terribly integrated. And normally I might attribute this to needing time, but it was not just tight, the alcohol just wasn’t well integrated. Would not buy again, poor QPR at $100+ and would not recommend.
