Community Tasting Note

Thursday, April 14, 2016 - Deep quite opaque cardinal's robe. Nose is very subdued and difficult to detect anything. Palate is quite full bodied with lots of round but rather tasteless fruit with a little bit of sweet cherry peeping through, suave but rather thick texture at first, moderate acidity and a lacing of quite discreet vanilla. There is a certain roundly bitter and rather hot firmness on the finish which I think owes more to alcohol (14.5%) than to tannins. It could be that this is in a closed phase and that it will blossom down the road but I'm not sure how it would balance the alcohol. At present rather boring.
