Community Tasting Note

Monday, September 7, 2020 - Well, yet again a magical moment happened. It was heavily raining all day, my wife and I had a long, tough day, and as we sat we were in the mood for a wine to soothe our souls and give us positive inspiration. Upon seeing this bottle stacked up in my cellar I felt like trying a Cristom for the 1st time.
Upon opening and pouring a sublime color of red brick (phasing slight at the rim) and aroma of gorgeous red fruits, flowers(mostly roses), pepper, smokey, very tiny hint of vanilla and the secondary elements of terroir were hitting my olfactive senses, going straight into my soul.
In the glass this had a gorgeous hued/red/ruby colors and on the palate it was simply magical. Fragile, yet Intense, poetic yet with long lines of stories to tell. It is one of those uplifting moments that you cherish as this had the power to lift both of us to have exciting and positive conversation for our post Covid projects. Very beautiful, and in transiting period to become a sensual wine soon to be. However don't wait too long as this is just now entering its maturity. Lucky if you have some bottles left in your cellar. Cheers,
