Community Tasting Note

jlhkiss Likes this wine:

Tuesday, January 2, 2018 - Opened and decanted 20-min ahead of garlic-pesto chicken pasta and was accessible from the start. Inky black with a ruby/violet hue. Nose is deep and concentrated with waves of lavender, red roses, blackberry pie, tar, smoked brisket, zesty oranges, and forest floor-like garrigue notes. The palate is medium, lush, and supple with high-toned candied cherry and strawberry notes offset against black pepper, plums, blackcurrant, sweet tobacco, beef stock, tar, and subtle notes of cinnamon and nutmeg on the finish, which is velvety and thick. This may be our QPR of the year - outstanding value that exceeds expectations. Very good now in an early window but will likely shut down for a few years before emerging again down the road. Drink now or save until after 2020+. Technical score: 94. Enjoyment score: 93.
