Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, October 25, 2023 - When opened the palate had a razors edge of acidity. Very sour and nothing Bordeaux about it. Nose had notes of truffle, sharp ripe dark fruit and wet earth. After a few hours the fruit gains the definition of plum.

Palate leads with Loganberry, cocoa, and tobacco leading into leather tannins and notes of Iron, savory herds and blackberry. The acidity broadens on a finish that features notes of blueberry and truffle. It is more of an Italian wine like a Chianti than a Bordeaux. (I'd have rated it an 84 initially and that was a nod to "as a Chianti".

After several hours the wine opens a palate of plum and tobacco up front with a line of iron and wet stone. Much better.
