Community Tasting Note

Tim Heaton Likes this wine:

Tuesday, August 8, 2017 - Classic garnet color. Intensely focused, structured and backward just now, though the material underneath the thick coat of tannins and high acidity reveals a wine of great purity and character. Good freshness, such taut lines, and crisp acidity. There's an energy and elegance here that should benefit those who are willing to wait for this to enter its preferred plateau. Quite good, if coiled at the moment. 2024-2043+. Traditionalists welcome, hedonists stay away. The longer (more than double than in the past) maceration and softer extractions (submerged cap) really show in this wine, a lot more elegance these days. Less new/oak influence is helping the freshness and balance, too. highly recommended
