Community Tasting Note

Jessie and Max Likes this wine:

Sunday, August 21, 2022 - Very appealing and vibrant medium(+) intensity nose, with powerful red currant, caramel, chocolate, red cherries, and hints of licorice, espresso, tar, blueberry bramble, and cinnamon. In other words: complex.

The first impression of the palate was of tinglingly high acid, but it settles down into integration as you drink it, with mild, grainy but present tannin. Flavors of tar and dark cocoa powder on the sip and cherry on the medium-length finish. Dry but with just a hint of sweetness (though that could have been the high alcohol), and very smooth.

This was smashing with 1000-day old Gouda, which made the slight sweetness shine.
