Community Tasting Notes 8

  October 30, 2022 - This benefitted from a decant. Aroma - initial was classic G-C, but added a lot more after a couple hours. Very strong cinnamon spice, just a hint of fruit is left in the aroma. Extremely concentrated deep red fruit flavor profile. Pretty smooth mouth feel - but the tannins have some bite. The finish actually should be called a finale. A sophisticated note that is completely cleansing and of satisfactorily length - actually short but highly intense. This complements the flavor well.

  December 15, 2017 - Berry and some floral notes on the nose. Sour cherry and orange on the nose. Medium acid and medium grippy, slightly green tannin. Loads of mineral/saline with sour cherry on the palate. Not bad.

  April 7, 2017 - Medium-plus ruby; slightly cloudy, perhaps from a bit of sediment. Berry and earth on the nose. The palate shows cherry, tangerine, and saline, but it is still backward, with medium-plus, slightly green tannin and puckering acidity. Not much pleasure or richness right now, and I doubt that it will ever come around.

  February 27, 2016 - Full body and lots of fruit with a classical G-C finish. Wrapped around the Burgundy was a hint of Rhone smoky complexity.
