Community Tasting Note

Saturday, May 24, 2014 - Monopole: Forest floor, moss, sour cherry, tea, herbs, and cocoa and shrooms in the nose--quite pretty; on the palate the acid is very high, it is ripe but still with sour red fruits, low in tannins, and a bit tart and thin. This has seen better days.
