Community Tasting Note

95 Points

Wednesday, April 26, 2023 - Overall - excellent. Not decanted. Initial nose of black fruit with slight barnyard scent which evolved to a more full fruity nose after open about an hour along notes of forest floor leaf scent and leather. Nice complexity between the fruit and tertiary components from aging. Silky texture on palate with great mouth feel. Well structured with presence of fruit, soft but present tannins, and good acidity. Taste is that of a nicely mature bordeaux but with more fruit presence than in the comparable aged bordeaux I've recently had. Drinking window is still open, and with some time yet to go, with this wine.
