Community Tasting Note

rikipedia Likes this wine:

Sunday, March 5, 2023 - Mid to deep garnet, the nose offers a multitude of pencil shavings, mothballs, bay leaf, kirsch eau di vie, raspberry jelly powder, fly spray, leather, stables (straw/hay), damson plum, and a meaty/stock cube element.
The palate continues with old books/library and church pews. There is also a barnyard note giving a sauvage note that shows wet hay to cedar. The texture is chalky to tarry and quarry dust with well-integrated fine dry tannins, but there is enough sweet fruit to contrast with the tannins. The mid-palate to back is more balsamic reduction, dried oranges, and a dirty layer of muck. There is also a constant edge of acetic burn or VA lurking, yet overall, the wine has enough nuance and complexity to score well. Long finish.
Blend of Cinsault, Carignan and Cabernet Sauvignon split equally. Old vines at 1000m asl.
