Community Tasting Note

Saturday, December 5, 2015 - Wispy red fruit, a note of tree bark on the nose, and lots of earthy soil tones. Plenty of extract but not a lot of fruit concentration, such that the tannins while not rough are a little drying and give the wine an earthy, slightly bitter edge through the midpalate. The acidity is high but smooths out on day two. I like the earthy, mineral character but would prefer a little more fruit/concentration relative to the tannic structure; this lacks charm, especially for a vintage like 2002. This still has plenty of structure but will there be anything left behind if/when the structure resolves?
