Community Tasting Note

  January 29, 2022 - Decanted for about 2 hours, it probably needs even more. Cork was impressively (almost suspiciously ; ) pristine and so is the wine: so dark and vibrantly colored. Nose is funky, leathery, slightly tarry with red licorice and some faint ripe strawberry notes. Palate is still very much alive: strong Bordeaux -style tannins with Bordeaux-style acidity but a softer flavor: cherries, hints of violet, worn leather, more red licorice. It’s really compelling. Really hit the spot with pork and bean stew but it’s almost more impressive and delicious on its own. Has quite a youthful appearance and taste; I feel like this has lots of life left. No rush at all on these if you have them.
