Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, December 4, 2019 - Wednesday Wine Lunch (Rocknroller's (Kevin & Vicki's Place)): Very dark red/purple color. PNP, drank 2 glasses over 4 hours plus. Impressive nose, complex with very pure fruits; cassis, boysenberry, blackberry, damp earth, truffle, cedarbox, pencil shavings and white pepper. The palate is full bodied and offers lovely brambly black and blue fruits; cassis, plum, boysenberry, blackberry, savory, graphite, truffle, soil, white pepper and a long finish with very polished tannins. This has beautiful fruit at 15+ years of age. Drinking more modern in style, forward and luxurious, but so balanced, complex, tart and fresh that there is no sense of this being anything short of outstanding. Reportedly 72% Cab and 28% Carmenere, but there's usually 4 or 5% Cab Franc that reduces the Carmenere percentage. The CT window suggests this is at the end of the line. I'd say far from it, this easily has 5 more years or more. 93+ to 94pts.
