Community Tasting Note

  April 8, 2015 - Screwcap, 14% alc. Amazing, deep, dense purple red.
  
  Reticent on the nose, but gradually opens up to reveal a bucket of mashed berries, pepper, and oak-derived spice.
  
  Flavours track the nose closely, joined by some 5-spice and some wild animale complexity. Structurally, the wine is still tannic, with unforced acidity, leading to average length.
  
  Opinion: This impressed far more upon release, though it’s not exactly a disappointment now either. Just nothing special. More time seems to be needed, however the bretty barnyard characters are a worry for extended aging. Right now, goes well with robust and rustic meat dishes.
