Community Tasting Note

srh Likes this wine:

Saturday, November 30, 2019 - Winebar [4 Whites, 8 Reds, & 7 *shared* bottles] from 11/29/19 (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): Oscar & José, THANK you for making it possible for me to taste this! :)

N: Initially VERY Madeira-like: IF tasted blindly, I'd have guessed 'twas fortified. However, over time carmelized notes emerged, & eventually raisins. Not at all "classic", but distinctive nonetheless, & seemingly > attractive with addt'l air.

P: LM body; Rndish entry with NICE, ALMOST swtish frt met by a BIT of astringent pucker which stays in contact with the init frt as it fairly seamlessly transitions into a LONG, beautifully BALANCED finish with an attractive tangy/swtness (55:45) to the few, TOTALLY unoffensive, yet still firming, very, VERY fine tannins. For now, + should still work with lighter fare (though not improving) through '21, poss '22. My EXC+, & I might even consider more save for the unusual aromas.
