Community Tasting Note

Beerzebub Likes this wine:

Thursday, May 26, 2016 - Popped, filled a half bottle to try tomorrow, and half an hour later started drinking. Tight, but less so than expected. Fresh and attractive aromas - ripe dark red fruit balanced by sap/sapling/leaves and rocky earth. A rich sweetish note like malt or caramel (from some judicious oak?) which works fine even if it's a bit surprising, and in any case seems like it will integrate with time. On the palate, rather tannin-dominated and clearly way too young, but tasty nonetheless, with fairly intense fresh red cherryish fruit, sap, and gravel. Plenty of acidity. Slightly bitter gravelly finish, very dry. Certainly promising; will tuck my other bottles (and any more that I acquire) away for some time.

Day 2 (stored in a half bottle): Not a huge change from day 1, but drinking very well; somewhat more open and more together, with smoother tannins.
