Community Tasting Note
stet Likes this wine:
Friday, March 26, 2021 - Color: medium ruby
Nose: red fruit: cherry, raspberry. Some plum as well. Old wood. Something rustic, barnyard. Bit of VA, nail polish remover, paint. Did not waft away with decanting until after 4 hours. Then some animal smells appeared. A dying fire smell. It kept evolving, there is a lot of depth
Palate: high acidity, medium-high tannins quite biting, medium body. Tart. Red and black fruit, some wet wood funk. Raspberry jumps at me. Very tense sip, very dramatic wine. Perhaps some chestnut too, and red ribes and some very ripe apple appear
Finish: medium
Ok this is young. Very assertive and great with lebanese food, it isn't exactly elegant but it makes for a fantastic food wine. Interesting that the nail polish remover was almost...pleasant?
