Community Tasting Note

  July 19, 2017 - PnP on day 1 with chicken and Spanish rice. Vacuvin overnight, tasting notes are from day 2. Deep, dark plum to garnet in the glass. Bricking at the edges and visibly transparent during the pour. Nose of plum, leather, blackcurrant, star anise and patchouli. Secondary nose of strawberry confiture, graphite and camphor. Front palate has a sweet-hot feel like fire jolly ranchers. Jammy and round lush fruit through the mid palate. Preserved or baked fruits, though, as freshness is gone. Back end has very fine tannins that balance with the jam, each alternating like sensory strobe lights at an all night dance party in Ibiza. Finish is long, with tannins like silky sinew being pulled through a hot blueberry pie spiked with eau de vie. Surprisingly no loss of fruit forward goodness. Lost a little something from day 1 tasting, feels like the bouquet and structure from day 1 gave way to a berry full moon high-tide.
