Community Tasting Note

Sunday, July 26, 2015 - Bottle bought from the cellar of Oinoscent

The color is clear bright red.

The nose is clean (though it needs some time), med/med+ intensity, the fruit is in the back, oak quite evident with sweet spices of cinnamon, nutmeg, a warm character overall, malolactic tones, ripe red cherry, dates, leather, saddle with time, more earthy/gamey notes, alcohol heat, fruit in alcohol, ripe red currant, ripe red berry, all of them above an oak stave, youthful. Tobacco and cigar box notes later on.

The wine is dry, med body and intensity, 14.50% alcohol, med acidity, tannins are med, the heat from alcohol is quite upfront, the red fruit is more lean and thin, gamey and some mineral notions too, lacks strength and structure at this point, short to med finish.

Very good quality, premium price, drink now or hold. Rating goes for the nose rather than the palate
