Community Tasting Note

Saturday, September 10, 2022 - This pours light ruby in the glass with faint bricking. The nose is of dried dark cherry, spicy oak, twigs, damp forest floor, bay leaf, cedar, leather, and cinnamon. The palate enters on red currants and dark cherry. It turns quite structured with medium plus tannin and medium plus acid. The finish is very nice with cherry pit element that lingers nicely. There is definitely a green element here on the nose and palate but it’s not bothersome to me. What interesting here is if I tasted this blind I think I’d guess something Italian, possible Sangiovese. Dark cherry, and the structure on the palate would certainly support that notion. Aromatically this was a little tight today, but I could imagine revisiting this in 5 years and liking it a lot more as there is clearly some complexity in reserve.
