Community Tasting Note

  • Mrbuzz Likes this wine: 93 points

    February 29, 2024 - A late night grab off the list, just a brief decant before we all dug in. Needs WAY more air, and time! Jammed with crushed rocks and minerals...the pretty red berry, kirsch, rhubarb fruits had a hard time showing all its glory. Still signs of greatness...that translucent, sexy red color...floral and spicy nose of licorice, dried cherries/oranges, flowers, white pepper...super lifting blood orange acidity...little thin with all that crushed rock, vintage...and just a tad bit of heat which went in and out as white pepper and alc. You can tell how classy and singular this wine is...just needs more time or big air to really shine. A real treat when you get to try one none-the-less. +pts
