Community Tasting Note

TannicBeast Likes this wine:

Saturday, July 29, 2017 - Tasted blind. Deep ruby with a garnet rim, showing a little age. The nose is clean and intense, leading off with smoked meat, medicinal herbs, black olives, and then some oak-induced sweet baking spices. The black and blue fruit does not come through until the palate, which is dry, with medium (+) acidity, medium alcohol (13.6%) and tannins which are still medium (+) to pronounced. An interesting wine, but perhaps a little unbalanced with the tannins at this point overpowering the fruit. I would say drink now, after a vigorous decant, or hold it for another five years and see what happens with the tannins.
