Community Tasting Note

Thursday, February 1, 2024 - Double Decanted two hours before drinking and went back in the bottle. Ruby. Complex. On the nose, right at first. Red currant, licorice, violet and dark fruits. After a bit of air, raspberry, rose and violet. Chalk notes (but isn’t the soil here more stone?). Vanilla is smooth and deep, but not overbearing. Baking spices - clove? After more air, leather and musk emerge. Chocolate. Menthol or eucalyptus. Hay or meadow notes. Elderberry or white flower? Tannins smooth out quickly with air in the glass. A fascinating journey through aromatics. Each one emerges and then fades into the next scent. Easy and elegant. Even the tastes change as you go along! Fascinating.
