Community Tasting Note

Sunday, June 25, 2017 - Ferocious tannins but also high concentration. Dark as Hades in the glass. Tannins are not young-tasting, but quite astringent, making me think this is what this wine is destined to be. Don't think it's going to mellow any time soon if ever. Tar, cigar box, cherry and a little pepper on the nose. Heavy on cassis on the palate, along with raspberry, light vanilla, and a touch of peat. Hotter than I'd expect in the middle and back. A very aggressive and unapologetic style. I respect it more than like it. My dining companion liked it more than I did. This is what the end of the world is going to taste like.
