Community Tasting Note

KenK Likes this wine:

Sunday, October 9, 2016 - Somewhat questionable fill, but great color. Turned out to be a truly great wine. Aromas of scorched earth and deep plum fruit followed onto the palate in spades. While clear signs of maturity and resolved tannins, offered up copious level of deep ripe sweet underlying red fruits and gave tremendous pleasure. Well balanced, but made in a lush denser extracted style that was hitting many pleasure points. Really outperformed my expectations and was clear WOTN just beating out a wonderful 1978 Beaucastel. Slight dirty component was only reason this did not score even higher.
