Community Tasting Note

Monday, December 12, 2022 - This is in a good place now but has the goods to lay down for a few more years.

Opened and let breathe for a couple of hours before dinner.

Lots of fun on the nose: plum, leather, cola, herbs and a touch of floral notes. The Mrs proclaims there to be some viognier in the mix but it isn’t listed in the components.

On the palate the tannins make themselves known but are well integrated. Jammy fruit balanced with crispy acidity - in no way a fruit bomb. Plum, strawberry (slightly under ripe), and thyme and clove are among the many flavors stand out. Pleasing, but not as exciting as the nose would suggest.

Finish is fairly long but a bit one dimensional.

An enjoyable wine but not one I’ll be dreaming about tonight.
