Community Tasting Notes 15

  February 22, 2024 - More than 6 years since my previous bottle of this, but this is still doing very well, evolving slowly. The fruit is definitely more faded but still present. The truffle and savoury notes are a bit more in front. It needed a bit of air to really come into its own, too.

  October 11, 2022 - Singing on day1 after an hour open. No detailed notes for tonight. Cran and herbal with a touch of white pepper. Medium plus acid. Medium tannin. Fans out on the mid palate and the finish is 60 seconds+. If you have some, open one and judge your own drinking window. If you have only one, open it now and enjoy or hold for up to 3 years.

  May 17, 2019 - Brown-tinted dark red. Spicy cranberry nose. Medium to full bodied, fully integrated flavors of cherries, menthol, cedar, and spices. Nice long finish. This is in an excellent place right now.

  November 4, 2018 - elegant cab franc which displays the unique characteristics of this varietal, savory, herbaceous and vegetal with smooth minerality

  November 19, 2017 - Very savoury and herbaceous. Truffle and Romano cheese indeed. Bright red fruit underneath it all. Just a fantastic wine, again showing Clark's mastery of this grape.
