Community Tasting Note

ChristP Likes this wine:

Wednesday, August 19, 2020 - This is my first dabble with this wine maker. First impressions are of a highly perfumed nose of dark fruits mixed with undercurrents of coffee and notes of chocolate. In the glass, the color is medium dark ruby. And on the palate there's a lot going on with the dark fruits, a malty mid-palate and a dark chocolate finish. The acidity is fairly light, with berry and chocolate at the fore, from front to end, with quite rounded, silky tannins. Give it a swirl around the cheeks, and firmer tannins emerge. Finish is long and satisfying with again chocolate lingering for 20+ seconds. This is a wine that needs slow savoring and time taken to absorb its complexity. What more could I want except a touch more acidity? This wine is in prime drinking space right now, and it should hold well for 5 or even 8 more years.
