Community Tasting Note

viniferatu Likes this wine:

Monday, January 2, 2023 - Enormously complex and intense, nice stuff today but it's obvious this will improve for another decade+

The nose is divine, so lifted and fresh, constantly changing, practically kaleidoscopic: red cherry (juicy flesh and almondy stone), strawberry candy, prune (a really beautiful prune, don't judge a dried plum just because it's a prune...), alpine breeze, balsam fir, rosemary, tar, perfect fresh roses, mint, cinnamon buns. Tannic and tart on the palate, full-bodied, layered and dense, incredible spicy and floral inner perfume, firms up on the finish as the tannins take over, but there's so much to get into as the flavors fade and rebound, meld and linger... the tannins may be too much for some palates, but the finish is undeniably long and complex. Decant this for 6+ hours, or save it for at least a few more years.
