Community Tasting Note

bvivio Likes this wine:

Sunday, June 27, 2021 - Appearance: deep ruby, garnet highlights, starting to show some rim variation, heavy tearing, medium+ staining, moderate amount of fine sediment.

Nose: clean, developing, medium intensity, red currant, black currant, black plum, red bell pepper jam, dusty earth, sage, tobacco, alder wood, cured meat, baked plum.

Palate: dry, medium acid, medium+ tannin, high alcohol (14.5%), medium+ intensity, medium+ body, medium finish, red currant, black currant, black plum, red bell pepper jam, dusty earth, sage, tobacco, alder wood, cured meat, baked plum.

Overall: A reasonably well balanced Bordeaux starting to show some savory tertiary development to compliment the ripe fruit and slight herbal edge. Showing some of the ripeness of the vintage, but definitely not overdone, this feels halfway between traditional and modern. A pretty decent value, and a nice compliment to grilled steak.
