Community Tasting Notes 15

November 16, 2019 - Decanted.
Scented with notes of cherry, raspberry, ripe strawberry and toschi fragoli with notes of sage, herbs, cinnamon, white pepper, spice, and earth with streaks of sandalwood, leather, sugar cookie, linzer torte and light floral notes.
The palate is full and voluptuous with bright, above moderate acidity and drying grippy tannins. The palate shows this wine has an elevated abv but in balance. Flavors coat the palate in super-ripe strawberry, laced with red cherry, linzer torte, sage and culinary herbs, tobacco, leather, white pepper, baking spice, anise and earth. Long on the finish that recalls a high level Gigondas or CdP.
This is absolutely in a peak drinking window. -

December 3, 2015 - Clove and plum skin aromas wit a hint of grilled meat . Tart cherry and cedar notes are added when tasted. Good length and depth.
