Community Tasting Note

The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine:

Friday, February 24, 2023 - Retail $80. 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 4% Malbec, 3% Petit Verdot. When I last tasted this wine, a mere three weeks ago, it was great, outstanding even. When I immediately noticed that the cork of this latest bottle was soft (and I should have switched to an Ah-so, but didn't), I was worried. When the cork then broke I was even more so (and cursed myself for not switching to the Ah-so). There is a hint of "corked" on the nose, but barely perceptible. Dark fruit, mostly cassis and black plum with black pepper and spice. Yowza. The palate is fruity, a bit muted, but nicely balanced. This is not the biggest Cinq Cépages I have popped, but it is a solid effort.
