| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.7 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Beerzebub on 2/12/2015: P&p. Pronounced raspberry on the nose, accented by pine/cedar/spice. Same on the palate, juicy, tart, a bit savory, delicious. Earthy, stony minerality develops toward the finish, dry and slightly bitter, an excellent foil to the exuberant fruit. Quite youthful, totally open and drinking very well. With a little air the fruit darkens, and the wine gains richness and depth. Nice fresh acidity and well integrated tannins hold everything together. Highly enjoyable, good stuff. Drink or hold, I suppose.
Day 2 (stored in a half bottle) - drinking very well. Cool fresh cohesive raspberry/blackcurrant/Kalamata olive, ripe but not at all heavy, with fresh acidity, savoriness, spice, salinity, earth, ferrous minerality; quite nice. (969 views) | | | Tasted by Matt T on 9/11/2011 & rated 86 points: Ruby color. High acidity and did not show much on the first day. Much better on day 3 with lots of soil and mineral notes on a medium length finish. (1771 views) | | | Tasted by mroconnell on 11/20/2009: Smelled GREAT. Lot of dark fruit, but also surprising exotic fruit notes. Lychee on the nose. A friend mentioned Grenadine (and it's called Grenadiere). Mouth is big and thick but very subtle. Plays a lot with that mediterranean spice. Still getting a lot of lychee and lychee peel on the mouth. Crazy. I bet it will get better with time. I want to taste earlier vintages now. (2121 views) |
