Community Tasting Note

  June 21, 2020 - Not decanted and consumed over about 4 hours. Opaque black-garnet color with no fading except right at the rim. Huge nose of spice, especially allspice, tar, loam, and very ripe fruit. The nose never let up but evolved a bit to be less intense, but more alcoholic. On the palate the wine is very nicely balanced and overtly fruity but there is no acidity to buttress is. It's flabby to my palate. I'm am somewhat amazed that it's lasted so long with so little acid but, there it is. In the end I have to admit that it's a good wine but the blowsy fruit, intense alcohol, and lack of acidity make it not to my palate. Purchased on release and stored in my cellar since.
