Community Tasting Note

rmalloy Likes this wine:

Friday, October 30, 2020 - I drink a wide variety of wines, and while I wish I could claim to have found a distinctive personal favorite, the reality is I like Bordeaux the best (for red wines at least -- not to mention Sauternes). It's perfect. The fruit tastes dark and ripe while maintaining good acidity. There's always a balanced blend of fruit notes and earthy notes due to the pyrazines. The tannins provide a serious structure.

Anyway, this wine here, while not particularly powerful or special, exemplifies all of those things I just said. I love the interwoven dark-fruit and pyrazine-based aromas (eucalyptus, cigar box, etc.). I like the olive and truffle aromas too. This wine is great to drink on its own due to the ripe fruit, but it doesn't taste bloated due to the acidic balance. Tannins are balanced too. This wine should drink well for the next 10 years.
