Community Tasting Note

Sunday, September 3, 2023 - I decided to open this after seeing dbkitc's worrisome note yesterday, and I'm happy to report an entirety different and better experience. On initial opening and for about the first hour, the aromas were red-fruited and sweet -- raspberry and strawberry -- but a little simple. After some air, however, the nose developed a much more intriguing profile, with chalky earth underpinned by blackberry. The palate is fleshy and round with some oak gloss to the texture. It's low in acidity by Rhys standards, and the tannins are fully resolved. A lengthy finish carries this through nicely. This seems to be in its prime drinking window now and was a pleasure.
