Community Tasting Note

89 Points

Sunday, November 19, 2023 - Deep purple with a ruby rim
On the nose, fall leaves, oak, and a dirt basement with hints of dark fruit
Flavors of tobacco, some prune and a bit of a twang that I can't describe now

Nice heavy acidity, and medium tannins. The funky twang smooths out after decanting, leaving lime, blackberries, and currant.

I would say this is a solid Bordeaux, not the best, but if it's available, it's worth a try
