Community Tasting Note

Friday, April 28, 2017 - Definitely a challenge to accept and not for everyone. Pouring a medium ruby color with orange bricking and long legs, the wine seems innocuous enough on first inspection. On the nose, it tells a different story. Almost devoid of fruit, the bouquet consists mainly of hay, fermented prune juice, coriander, damp earth, used teabags and mulch. Only at the slightest suggestion of blackberries do I pick that nose up. On the palate, the wine is quite supple as the tannins have long been integrated. Though the body is somewhat thin, the wine's flavors are generous and yield a bit more fruit than the nose. Flavors of tobacco, hay, truffles, forest floor and sour cherries are present. The wine ends in a somewhat acidic and smoky note, with a bit of alcoholic bite even. Interesting in profile, this bottle is certainly a challenging wine to enjoy.
