Community Tasting Notes 8

  November 3, 2013 - PnP, served non-blind. Earthy, with damp mushroom, clove, almond and unripe plum on the nose. Medium-bodied, tasty, tangy and still performing well as a food wine, less so (as expected) on its own. May well last thru 2015, but best to consume earlier than later. An excellent performer, since release and through a whole case. 14,0% abv

  August 5, 2013 - PnP, served non-blind. Consistent with last month's bottle, this is fully at peak, if not just past. Either way, it's a great mid-week quaff. Wish I had another case, but doubt I could finish it before the wine had unraveled too much. Glad for the experience. 14,0% abv, drink now thru 2014

  July 25, 2013 - PnP, served non-blind. Medium ruby, faded to the rim. Fully mature aromas of strawberry and plum flecked with toffee bits, river bed and vanilla creme; with time in the glass, garrigue and melted red licorice. Medium-bodied, fresh acids, mature flavors that largely follow the nose. Tart entry, slightly earthy; average finish and avg complexity on the palate, but for just $10, I'm very happy - this is a good, solid food wine. 14,0% abv, drink thru 2014. recommended
