Community Tasting Note

Saturday, March 20, 2021 - Decanted for two hours. Medium ruby colour. Forest berries, red cherry, cherry pit, some raspberry, forest notes, and light Pinot spice, with good, lively acidity, grippy yet very well integrated tannin (partly fermented with stems?), and superb length. Medium-bodied. Good tension and energy! A little woody, with bitter cocoa and light bitter oak at this point, but the quality is obvious.

The wine drank consistently well over a period of three days; on day one the tannin and oak were quite present, by day two the tannin was a little more resolved but the bitter oak still present, and on day three the tannin and oak were barely noticeable and the wine was driven by crunchy red cherry fruit and marked acidity. I would hold for at least another six or seven years and start drinking from 2025+. 91+ for now.
