Community Tasting Note

Saturday, April 8, 2023 - Under cork. Pnp. Half way between ruby and garnet in the core with some bricking at the rim. Restrained nose that needs coaxing to open up, but then it reveals sour cherry, chestnut, red leather, blue plum, cured tobacco, cinnamon and violet at the end. Slightly funky but in a good way. Later on some licorice emerges on the nose. Medium bodied, soft tannins, tart acidity, moderate alcohol, dry finish. Initial impressions on the palate are gobs of sour cherry, dusty red plum skins, soft oak, black tea, light tar, licorice and a nicely astringent finish that is fruity and dry and tingly all at the same time. Pretty nice stuff. Slightly challenging - certainly not a sipper - but I certainly like it!
