Community Tasting Note

oldwines Likes this wine:

Thursday, October 5, 2023 - Double decanted around noon and taken to a tasting dinner. Ever so little sediment. Dark garnet crimson color. Nose has the telltale herbal, slightly vegetal notes of Cab Franc but it fades quickly with air. Also peppery spice, roasted herbs like rosemary and lavender then layers of red fruit. Texture is way lighter than the color would indicate, very elegant and refined with bright acidity and just enough tannin to keep the structure balanced. Very red fruited on the palate with herbs and spice. Moderately long finish with a little bacon hint. Will improve with air and cellaring, just at the beginning of the tasting window in my view.
