Community Tasting Note

• gripNsip Likes this wine: 88 points

  July 26, 2014 - This wine changed considerably with time in glass, initially it was showing lots of earth and mushroom on the nose, over time the nose is all tart cherries and roses with a musty, loamy note. In the mouth it is lighter bodied, showing young cherries with an dark earthy note under the fruit flavors. The fruit turns tart and lightly sour as the wine finishes. Once the fruit flavors relax, there is a light earthy, mushroom note. The acid is fine and pairs nicely with the fruit flavors, tannins are present but not aggressive. Overall a nice wine, showing a bit closed tonight in my opinion. It shows good complexity and nuance, perhaps more time in bottle will relax the tart, near sour edge the fruit currently shows.
