Community Tasting Note

95 Points
Monday, September 13, 2021 - Still holding on to its youth, though the tannic grip has eased over the past few years, the wine is full-bodied, concentrated, and packed with loads of tobacco leaf, cigar box, forest leaf, spices, and fresh, sweet, red currants. There is lift and length in the finish.
