Community Tasting Note

jondrinkswine Likes this wine:

Monday, July 12, 2021 - Dried red cherries, dried cherries, dried raspberries and dried roses. Just the right amount of new French oak and maturation creates a pronounced spiciness and earth quality to this wine with black pepper, cloves, smoke, tobacco, cigar box, forest floor, game meat, figs and chocolate flavors. The finish is long and spicy with a lingering tangy sensation behind the jaw in the back palate. The tannins here have a sharp quality, and the oak spice + sharp tannin + elevated alcohol all accentuate one another in a way that presents itself as a lot of spice (rather than an unpleasant burning sensation). Looking forward to enjoying this one again soon.
