Community Tasting Note

ocassiuso Likes this wine:

Sunday, March 31, 2024 - Bottle 1310g. Moderately intense aromas on opening of dark fruit and loam, white pepper, smoke, floral top note. Dry, with moderate acidity and moderate grainy tannins, full-bodied, 13.5% abv. Wants air, and reveals itself slowly. Increasingly spicy on the palate. Then firewood on the nose. The palate gets brighter. This could take a while.... Purchased in Lyon, October '22. Throwing some silty sediment.
Tobacco, herbal aromas, meringue, graphite. Meatier. Fruit is sort of the scenery at the back of the stage that all the other aromas and flavors are dancing in front of.
Much later: the wine has relaxed, and all the lush, savory, meaty flavors have invited the dark cherry fruit to take a bow with them. A sensuous performance.
