Community Tasting Note

Thursday, November 4, 2021 - Revisiting another bottle a year later.

Nose: surprisingly condensed mixed berries, graphite, and a little bit of orange rind. A beautiful fresh cedar, cigar smoke, and fresh leather round out for a sweet pungent and powerful perfume.

Deep dark fruit is balanced by a plush, creamy texture. There is good dryness and tannin as the finish brings out cigar smoke and black tea bitterness. A dark flavored, dry, smoky, and heavy wine. My tongue and mouth feel like I just smoked a cigar, and that dryness and kind of burn extends down to the stomach. New leather and (I mean this in the absolute best way possible and I have never said this positively about a wine before but in this case it applies): grape cough syrup.

It’s a really really heavy and dark wine, dry but not necessarily chewy. This almost reminds me of a petit Verdot. Very good and feels like it can hang with the Veeder and Spring Mountain offerings in terms of durability and potential in the future.
