Community Tasting Note

Seth Rosenberg Likes this wine:

Thursday, November 25, 2021 - Was looking forward to this after the last bottle but this was an odd showing I couldn't quite get my head around. Very very smoky and somewhat bitter at points that made me wonder if it was off. Now hours later my palate is shot but the nose seems really good - not explosive like the last bottle but solid - it's got that meaty, bloody, tomato and citrus squirt thing. Will have to try it again tomorrow - the previous bottle held well for days.

Day 2: Bricked all the way through. I'm liking this better today, although it isn't as good as the last bottle. I looked over other notes last night and those who talk about charcoal or tobacco really nailed it. It's got that stewed tomato-smoked meat-blood thing along with the smokey-charcoal thing and an herbal tobacco. Lots of umami like last bottle but its missing a lot of the remnants of the fruit giving sweetness that really completed the last bottle. But there is a marzipan-nutty-sweetness that adds a bit of creaminess and is really nice. The palate is super smokey and charcoal - funky like good bad weed. Finish is all tomato and smokey umami. I've grooving on this now, as Z would say [ ;) ]. Nose - 5/6, Palate - 5.5/6, Finish - 5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1.5/2 = 17/20.
