Community Tasting Notes 5

October 30, 2023 - Cork fully dried out but no leakage. Beautiful color with no change to the edge. Nose of dark fruit, almost jammy and a musty smell that became less with time. Nice and smooth in the mouth, silky tannins and still good acidity. Good aftertaste.

March 3, 2020 - Was looking forward to this one. Unfortunately utterly spoiled by a unidentified wine fault, probably TCA.
Nose lacking fruit, vegetal and glue dominating.
On palate without fruit, some oak, mild (non-acetic) acidity. Short finish.

April 18, 2018 - Very good but very expensive. It has a characteristic (but nevertheless charming) new world fruitiness on the nose and palate, with raspberry and cherry predominant. Soft tannins, but sufficient grip on the palate and finish. A very clever and interesting blend.

March 22, 2018 - 50/20/15/10 Carmenere/Cab Sauv/Syrah/Petit Verdot. Medium nose shows roasted pepper, black pepper, blackberry, dried baking spice, light earth tone. Palate gives big style, red and black fruits, red plums, dried blackberry, sage, forest floor, cassis, mushroom, maybe licorice, dark spice, then big structure, medium plus tannins, medium plus alcohol, very dry finish that calls for meats. We popped and poured, would like to revisit with some air/time.
