Community Tasting Notes 2

January 29, 2021 - Quirky, piquant notes take center stage. Aggressive, savory aromas of olive brine, fresh-picked tobacco, black truffle, and green peppercorn flow from the glass. Behind that sits cassis, blackberry, eucalyptus, vanilla, and coconut. Unlike the Winemakers Reserve, the palate is quite sharp with lively acidity, tangy bitter orange peel, tart rhubarb, and drying tannin. It won’t be a win for everyone, though it is pretty darn intriguing.

January 14, 2020 - Garnet, with hints of brown. Med+ intensity, developing aromas showing tertiary aromas of bottle age (tobacco, tilled earth, savoury herbs, roasted meat), secondary aromas of oak (clove, char, vanilla) and primary aromas from red fruits (cassis, cherry), black fruits (black cherry, blackberry), herbal (liquorice root, sage) and pungent spice (black pepper, green peppercorns). Dry, med tannin, med acidity, med intensity, med+ finish, med alcohol, med+ body. Palate reflects the nose and picks up a touch of minerality and salinity. Very good, drink now; not suitable for aging.
