Community Tasting Note

Friday, December 13, 2019 - We drank this one out of a magnum and it really never opened unfortunately on day one, it showed very tight, inhibited restraint. On the pallet, the suppressed flavors, something was there flavor wise, but it never showed up. Day 2 revealed the reason why I like Alpha Omega wines. Strikingly dark inky purple blueish color. On the palate, enhance flavors of dark extracted berry fruits, cassis dark berry fruit flavors and purity. Nice structure, elegance and depth came to the fore.... with air time. A winner in the 2014 lineup for Alpha Omega. 95.7 points tonight. Give this wine a long decanting for maximum enjoyment.
