Community Tasting Notes 74

  January 14, 2024 - Last noted 3/13. First bottle corked; went & grabbed the last bottle.
  
  Color/App: nearly opaque ruby core -> moderately dense ruby rim with a bit of garnet creeping in. The wine was rocking after decanting for about 30 minutes. Black-fruited bouquet showing off tar, creosote, leather, a little gaminess and wet-slate minerality. Palate showed smoke, pretty much any black fruit you can name, anisette and tobacco. Great structure to drink now: the tannins are finally approachable and the acid level seems just right. Well done and has held up nicely. I'd say this is for drinking now over the next 3-5 years.

  July 7, 2023 - Tar, bbq meat, smoke and clove notes. The tannins are well resolved, but this still seems younger than dozen or so years of age. Big, muscular and beefy. Seems like this would go great with grilled food.
