Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, September 16, 2008 - Spices, more tannic on finish, decent blueberry and plum jam flavors, very dark tasty fruit, though a little too hot (14.5% alc). A nice drop for the price, but nothing great. Imagine the red Coonawara earth pushing through: the lush dark fruit keeps struggling to push through the earthy top layer, but can't quite emerge. I liked it, and the QPR is good, but there's still an overripe stewed plum thing going on that kind of stifles it at the end of an otherwise rich, full finish.
