Community Tasting Note

Saturday, September 17, 2016 - Very dark ruby core and purple rim with high optical density. Intense aromas of spicy, ripe dark berries, bright tobacco, and savory, crunchy forest over hints of game. Refreshing acidity, full body, and ripe, fine tannins over a dense, rich texture. Flavours of jammy dark fruit hits the attack, with savory spice filling cracks in jam in the rich midpalate. Dried blue fruits and bacon grilled over tobacco fire lingering for great length, where cracked black pepper comes on in smouldering aftermath. Big, bold, flavour-packed wine. Voluptuous like a Merlot, with modern, spicy Syrah notes in format that isn't shy. A nice wine that is delicious and beautiful with some superficial character. Hugely enjoyable if you want drinkable, fruit-intense, and moderately complex, but this would require the right mood, and perhaps the right food.
