Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

91 Points

Saturday, July 19, 2014 - Popped and followed for 4 hours open. Very dark purple, almost opaque with quick, clear legs. Moderate sediment. Profound and pure blackberry, caramelized pork, and Backwoods Smoke cigarillo aromas that seemed to lose a lot of intensity after an hour. The palate is wonderfully juicy with acidity and is joined by some serious mineral texture, making this an absolute foodie wine. It has a light-medium body but delivers oodles of fruit goodness into a long finish. It did seem to jumble a bit from hour 1-2 where I thought the oak monster was making an appearance, but by the third hour in decanter the elements mingled perfectly into a really attractive package. 5+11+17+8= 91
