Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, December 12, 2023 - Really incredible experience. The color, the thick, almost oily consistency--this is a surprising wine from the very beginning. Overwhelming raisiny notes at the very beginning give way to every imaginable secondary flavor. Think baking spices, molasses, dark chocolate or raw cacao nib, hints of mint, soy sauce (really), tobacco, prune, plum cake, etc. It's almost impossible for me to describe everything going on here, because every sip is just that little bit different. All in all, a really incredible experience if you can get your hands on it. The only thing I can fault it for is the lack of razor-sharp acidity that something like a top-shelf Tokaji will have that makes it moreish. The acidity is there, but just shy of cutting through the syrupy quality, which makes it hard to drink more than an ounce at a time. Still, this is a wine to be savored, and an incredible experience if you can get your hands on it!
