Community Tasting Note

  • RGCM Gananda wrote: 88 points

    February 28, 2024 - Prior bottle was 8 months ago and my notes were essentially unchanged. Nose continues to show black cherry, some red cherry, earth and spice notes. Between light and medium bodied (remains lighter than the 2018) black cherry as well as some red cherry notes supported by a touch of additional depth through the middle. Tannins, acidity, tart cherry, spices and minerals on the back and through the finish. As expected, the tannins and acidity continue to show prominently, even as the fruit has evolved slightly. The fruit depth and complexity aren't there to support the structural notes which means the backside transitions are and will continue to be slightly disjointed and not as integrated as Chain wines usually are. Has the fruit to last several more years, but I don't see this trend changing.
