Community Tasting Note

  • Pedroel Likes this wine: 91 points

    August 18, 2023 - 18 months since the last bottle has brought positive changes. Gone is the weirdness, replaced with balanced consistency: black and blueberry, a touch of orange zest, well integrated minerality, acid & tannins. The finish is much improved, too, going on and on. This is sophisticated and feminine; NOT a fruit bomb. 2 more bottles for 2024 and 2025.

    Day 2 note: Severe drop off overnight, turning pruney.

    2/27/2022 Note: A berry cobbler nose isn’t quite replicated in the mouth, where clean, maybe austere, blackberry flavors and a mineral element that is more pronounced on some slurps than others, take the stage. Weird. At times I really like it and others, not so much. The finish is medium and accentuates the austere aspect. This may improve with age, but it fails to march along with the excellence of the vintage.
